Very cool! Can post some photos pls and specs? Tested the Turntechs and if it's equivalent performance I'm very keen on a 3.5Ah or similar capacity.. Also size is important since the Turntechs are slightly wider for no obvious reason making it hard to fit in stock battery cradles..

Ok the details are here:

Capacity 3Ah
About 13.2 Volts (norminal)

Size
Length 13.1cm
Height 6.4cm
Thickness 3.5cm

Weight 499 grams with wires and connector lugs (I measured on a very acurate digital measuring scale)

I not allowed to show detailed photos as the final "FOR SALE" product is not finalized. I am providing the battery company - feedback to make it better for motorcycle bikes specific.

But here is the teaser.....
Note: Engine running with headlights and taillights ON
BUT WHERE IS THE WHOLE STOCK BATTERY?!?!?!?!

Haha, nothing to hide lah. Its not like its a Nuclear Fusion Reactor powering the bike. haha Laughing
Dude its just a small Dry-cell battery *new technology makes it possible* If you can change batteries for a torchlight...99% sure can DIY this too. ONLY trying to respect the battery manufacturer request for not posting the actual photos of the battery until its avail for sale.

3 weeks of using the samples:
*DRZ400SM and KLX140L*
I intentionally kill the engine at every red light and estart on green light. No prob so far. KLX140L has been thru a practise session and a race weekend...2 ladies handling the bike with no probs too. The charging system is all healthy and I am going to add a headlight to the KLX140L.

S$100 nett (self collect at Geylang)
499 grams in weight ONLY
3 Amp/Hour (Best size and one size for all dirt bikes)
