[Triumph Race Support]

Had the rep in today trying to get us to sell his batteries. They look the part and sound idea. Only problem is I'm no expert but I know the Tona is funny when it comes to batteries so can someone in the know cast their eye over the specs below and say if we need the 6 or 8 cell? I know the 4 cell one will do a race bike no probs, not sure about a road bike with headlights on.

Are these similar to the Ballistic lithium-Iron-phosphate batteries? If so I read on their site that they recommend 4 cell for race use and 8 cell for street use for the Daytona 675.

 

[2BRacing]

Handbook indicates 7Ah spec for D675 battery. 8 cell spec is 5.2Ah and 12 cell is 7.8Ah, so for road use probably would have to go for 12 cell.

 

[RidersDiscount]

We have used both Ballistic and Speed Cell 8 Cell batteries on the 675. If you run a standard 600 a 4 cell is no problem at all however the starter on the 675 does require a bit more juice.

Cheers TJ that's what I thought.

 

[Budo]

Yup.

I've been running an 8 cell A123 system for the past year or so. A 4 cell would definitely not start my bike (maybe if it's 99F outside).

 

[MacBandit]

8cell minimum for a street legal 675.

12 cell does not fit 2007 daytona! Now I have waited 2 months and am $200 poorer!!

Just want to save some other people the trouble!

PM me if anyone can use a 12 cell...
