Ok I'm what we call in Hawaii Akamie - meaning I have to feel like I get great value for my $ but I'm not cheap just expecting a lot. I have never believed that one battery is better than another. The technology is as old as dirt and they all have to be the same. So my brother in-law owns a trucking company and with his discount the high end Interstate batter was much cheaper than replacing with any other brand and the Lithium one I had in the bike. This is an ST1100 that sits on the Big Island and was only ridded 4 weekends in 2015. The batter was toast Thanksgiving 2014, that's when I put in the Interstate. In the years that I have had that bike it has always been on a tender and I had to replace the battery every 9 to 12 months. I'm at 15 months on the interstate and the battery was still strong to start the bike. It takes 3 to 5 minutes of cranking to get the gas into the cylinders on that bike and a bunch of cranking. The interstate batter is still good and once the bike started is started every single time I hit the button. So the short answer is my experience is that a good quality battery will last longer then the ion one. Aloha - Sean
