Trying to figure out a good option for battery replacement on my bike (tried featherweight lithium ion and it died in about 1yr's time). Does anyone recommend a lightweight gel/dry cell.. I'm wanting a sealed gel battery unless there are other suggestions

 

I went with a mighty max lithium iron phosphate. I bought for $60. I really like it. I had to remove the bottom of battery to fit into my 06 battery tray. It's just a plastic riser. I also had to buy a lithium charger. 20$

 

Li should last 10+ years. You either got a bad one, or something may be wrong with the charging system on the bike or plugging in. My lead batteries last 8 years, on average.

 

One has to use a Li Charger, if you use a standard charger for lead acid, it might have caused your problem lasting only one year. I use Li in all my bikes now, much better.
