New to the group so please excuse any ignorance demonstrated but I have been looking at the EVO2 as a battery.
It has a balanced charging port which I am led to believe can up to double the life expectancy of the battery. Claimed Pb equivalence is 15 A/H @ 768g. No low voltage and/or high current cutout board installed, but a nearby fuse on some well covered posts should do the trick perhaps? There are a couple of Australian web sites that sell and shipped within Australia. http://www.motospares.com.au/ballistic-8-cell-evo2/ http://www.ballisticparts.com/products/batteries/8cell.php Cheers.
