Best small/lightweight battery for a XM

[catmando]

Looking for the smallest battery I can find to relocate it on a 800 XM . Any suggestions would be great . Also what is the lowest cold cranking amps I can go ? Stock I believe is 310 CCA . Thinking Lithium is the way too go but not interested in a 500 dollars battery.

These ones are decently small, weigh in around 2.5 lbs.

I have an EarthX for my Sidewinder. Right around 1lb. Give them a look.

EarthX in me M8000

Thanks guys, will look at those, don’t seem to put cca on lithium batteries so just want to be sure I got enough to spin er over.

Not sure of the size you need, but who knows this might fit. They have other sizes in the store and positive negative can be flipped. Not sure how good they are.

Thx. X it , goodeal there as far as cca and price, unfortunately it takes 8 weeks to get it . Might order one for a spare, 105 bucks for a lithium battery with 290 cca is a good deal

If it can start the Sidewinder in -30 I'm sure an 800cc 2 stroke will be just fine.

This is the one I have.

That MagnaSport I run will start the sidewinder in -30 temps, takes a few tries to get the battery warm but always goes.

This year I have the Noco lithium in the sidewinder, has more CCA than the magnasport.

Magnasport is in the missus XM, turns that fuker over instantly...

I have this one in mine. Very small and low weight.

Been working good. A little slow turning for cold starts so i usually just pull it by hand the first time, but it will start it

 

[catmando]

Well I did a bit of research and went with Alberta Lithium Batteries out of Lac La Biche , they have a small one with 220 cca and it’s pretty cheap , don’t . Don’t care if I have too pull it over for cold starts , kind of like a shot start . Warm I’m sure 220 cca will spin er over. And support local business as well. Should make for some extra room !

Good find. Let us know how it works for you.

 

[catmando]

They also carry a 400 cold cranking amp lithium battery pretty much exactly the same size as stock for 180 , which is the next one for my spare sled.

On another note, the battery in my truck was frozen solid on Tues morning! It was just over a year old, so it was replaced under warranty. When I installed the replacement, I added one of them battery blanket heaters. Good times!

I put those on the Ram 2500 diesel & half ton this fall. Took a temperature reading a couple days ago. At -23 daytime high it was about 20 c warmer at the top of battery than surrounding metal & plastic. Worth it in my opinion

Got my new starter motor, waiting for the lithium battery, will put it on my other sled too see if the little fella will fire up my other sled before I I start cutting and retro fitting somewhere under my turboski! Fingers crossed

 

[catmando]

Tested out my lithium battery on my sled, spins it over cold in my garage no problem. Battery is a little less than half the size of stock and 1/3 the weight .A buddy is modifying up a basket for the battery for its new location. This is going to work great. Will add pics when it gets installed.

Got my estart back, Got this little lithium battery and it spins er over every bit as good as the Brp battery. Thanks to my budd for a clean install. Pic of the Doo battery beside the new one. It weighs 1.8 pounds . And the finished product!

Thanks catmando for the review. Just ordered the same one. I could not get an antigravity to last 2 years. Went through 2 of them. 700 bucks worth.
