A123 Motorcycle Battery?

[Thomas]

Hi,

we've been using A123 4s2p 2300 mAh for a Suzuki GSXR 600 in our Formula Student car for two years. On the test bench, I've measured 25 A cuntinuous for the starter motor and this was supplied by 4s1p. In the car, there's fuel and water pump, a fan and a shifter magnet which pulls 50 A.

I've found that 4s packs of LiFe packs are prefectly compatible with bike engine and their alternators. For your 1200 ccm bike, I'd try 4s3p or 4s4p.

Further, I've been using 4s1p in my 125 ccm bike for a year, but might switch to 2p.
