The battery on my Vitpilen 701 has finally bit the dust and I'm looking for a replacement. What replacement batteries did you guys use? I'm interested in getting a lithium ion one from antigravity. Has anyone swapped theirs for one and what size/model did you use?
 
I am using a Noco Lithium battery, not as small as the Antigravity option but light, very very well made and fits perfectly. Been using it for a year, came charged, zero maintenance and starts immediately no matter how long it has been sat.

@ChainsawDuke What is the pros/cons of going for a lithium battery? Lighter? Does it need a special charger?

They are way lighter, feels like an empty plastic box when you pick it up. They can be charged with a normal charger (I think there is one setting to avoid on normal chargers but can't remember the name) that said, mine hasn't needed charging in over a year. Cranks harder than the stock lead/acid and starts quicker. Just need to turn the ignition on for 30 seconds or so before hitting the start button in cold weather to allow the battery to warm up.
No downsides so far in my experience.

Same as Nampus I've got a shido. It's about 30% of the weight. Probably the equivalent of a couple of HP gains ;)
