Author Message   Hogluvr Posted on Saturday, January 21, 2012 - 08:26 pm:        My soon-to-be-new-to-me '96 S1 still has the original battery in it. I was wondering if there was an alternate to going to the Blast conversion kit?   Preybird1 Posted on Saturday, January 21, 2012 - 08:41 pm:        I would go with this cycle-tron interstate battery. here is a part number FAYTX14 Cycle-Tron Plus - 200 CCA - 12 AH This fitment is Buell Specific to your model and year. I have six of these batteries but in different bikes. They are around $80-117 each. link for ya http://www.interstatebatteries.com/cs_eStore/Searc h.aspx/Motorcycles/BUELL-MOTORCYCLES/S1-Lightning? dsNavigation=Ns~product+Type|101|1|,N~38-2147384748-4282937860-4294487295   Blks1l Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 06:08 pm:        Yuasa YTX12BS, I have one in my 97S1, and have never done the voltage regulator relocation.   Hogluvr Posted on Sunday, January 22, 2012 - 10:23 pm:        Thanks for the info guys, a google search turned up an Odyssey battery, want to check out all my options. Probably be awhile before she's ready for one though...   Jayvee Posted on Monday, January 23, 2012 - 11:43 am:        I have an Odessy, pretty good replacement. My next battery though will be either Ballistic Performanc EVO2, or the Shorai. I saw the Shorai exhibit at the San Mateo MC Show. Amazing, the battery is slightly over ONE pound. B.P. Evo2 is the same, but looks less 'conventional'. Either one is around the price of a normal replacement battery.   Fahren Posted on Monday, January 23, 2012 - 12:06 pm:        Wasn't there a recall for the battery re-location kit? Or was it not a recall, just a modification?   Blks1l Posted on Monday, January 23, 2012 - 11:41 pm:        That wasn't a recall, I think it was a SB to relocate the VR and use a standard sporty battery.   Kenm123t Posted on Saturday, February 18, 2012 - 10:34 pm:        Blast battery was the SB   Gusm2 Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2012 - 12:25 am:        Donīt know if they are available stateside but Iīve found Varta batteries very good in my M2   Buellistic Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2012 - 09:36 am:        The bottom line, no mater what battery you buy, if you do not keep it on a trickle charger(BATTERY "PLUS")when not riding, you will not get your monies worth out of the battery !!! Try www.batteryplus.com ... also www.interstatebatteries.com ...

I don't know what it's called, it has two pins line up opposite. Anytime I got more than two or three days without riding, I'll connect it.
