The Headways are nice in their own right, but I already had most of the packs needed to make my setup, and even if I only get 100 cycles, this would be a couple year's worth of runtime for a dirt bike(which is one of 2 dirtbikes and one of 4 motorcycles I use regularly). Even if I could run it twice every week for 1/2 the year, 100 cycles would yield 2 years of runtime. I should get way more than 100 cycles, and between RC, my other motorcycles, weather, and making a living, I doubt the bike will see 50 cycles per year - I should get a few years use easily.

I like my 4S4P Headway setup. SLA was only lasting my trolling setup about 2 years, then had to replace them.
The headway setup is light enough to carry around and use for AC inverter duty, plus I'm looking forward to 10+ years of use.
They say 80% capacity retention at 2000 cycles. I'll report back in 10 years LOL
