BOSCH BLP9 - Lithium PowerSport Battery - Group 9, 12V, 180A

I bought this Bosch Lithium Battery BLP-14Battery for my 2013 Aprilia Tuono 1000 V4 engine. I replaced my 2-year-old Energizer AGM Battery was giving me a hard time starting after Refueling. I read many reviews where people were saying Lithium Battery turns the engine over faster. I also notice the same thing. My Aprilia V4 never started so fast before, and I have had this bike for over 2 years now. This battery seems to be 25% of the traditional battery weight. I only had this battery in my bike for one week now. Time will tell how long it will last, so far I am very happy with it. We don't have to worry about cold Lithium start as i live in South Florida. Our summer is 100°F and Winter is 60°F if it's a cold day. Don't forget to buy Lithim Compatible Battery Tender Non Non-Lithium Battery Tender will ruin your battery. I did a lot of Research and didn't know what to expect, but i am glad i bought this battery.

Replaced dead battery in Jetski which was kept on a good quality trickle charge. Very hot here so I old battery cooked @3 years old. Have had this battery for one year so far and zero issues.

You have to make this battery fit in your motorcycle. It is much smaller and lighter than your original battery, and it comes with lego-like blocks to help it fit in your battery box. Wouldn't work in my bike, even though the battery was cataloged as the correct model. These lithium batteries are light and they are small, but they are not plug 'n' play. I returned mine to Whole Foods and bought a normal maintenance-free battery.

I don't impress really easy, but I am impressed with this lithium battery. I used it to replace the stock lead/acid battery in my Teryx 800 SxS. Living in Southern Arizona presents challenges with batteries and L/A batteries don't seem to take to the heat well (especially non-serviceable sealed L/A batteries). PROS - Weight (Fraction of what a L/A weighs), Fitment (Even though it is by nature smaller, it is in a case with spacers to adjust to your stock battery holder), Durability (TBD, but so far has already outperformed the L/A). CONS - Just a bit more expensive but anticipate a much longer life.

Seems to hold the charge well and has made it through the first season. We'll see how it fares through the winter but so far so good. Well priced, good quality.

I bought the Bosch BLP14 battery for my Ibex 450 motorcycle, primarily for the weight savings. It arrived in good shape with the indicated multitude of spacers, and the terminal bolts and nuts. As usual I had to put little pads under the nuts to locate them in place and raise them up to where the bolts would easily engage them - why we still have to do this after decades of this poor design I don't know. Otherwise, it went in easily and the bike started and runs fine. Time will tell how it holds up, but I suspect this battery from a company like Bosch should do well. Now, regarding the battery dimensions. The Amazon description for this BLP14 variously shows it as "3.43"D x 5.91"W x 5.63"H" and "3.43"D x 5.91"W x 3.63"H". The Bosch website was no help on this mystery, but I suspected it was the smaller height for this Class 14 battery. I measured it and in fact the actual height is 3.63" so it should fit as a replacement for batteries such as a Yuasa YTZ14-BS. The 5.63" measurement would reflect the use of some of the included spacers to raise the battery height, if needed. Hope that helps!

Nice battery, super light, I wasn’t expecting that. Highly recommend.

I installed this on a 520cc motorcycle tha required half the cold cranking amp power this battery claims to have. It was terrible. Barely could crank the bike over and didn’t spin enough rpm to start it. If you made a second attempt the protection relay inside would trip and reset several minutes later. I’m surprised Bosch would put their name on this product. Do not buy. The Goodyear branded battery was the replacement and start the bike like a jet.
