I can't seem to find a lithium-ion battery. Do they make such a thing for a motorcycle and if not, why not?

You need special circuitry to charge them without blowing them up.
Lead-acid is still the best for this application.

Do AGM batteries need special chargers?

Local independent BMW shop suggested that at a CAN bus seminar.

AGM is still lead-acid.
The acid is just in a glass mat.
I guess the cells look like poisonous fruit roll-ups in there : )

Is there a size difference in the AGM?
