If you’re going to spend the extra money to upgrade to a Shorai battery, there’s no sense in cheaping out when it comes to the charger. I just had a horrible experience at a shop where the tech who replaced the fork seals on my bike left my lights on when he was finished and completely killed my battery. Even though this was the result of somebody else’s mistake and not the fault of a defective battery, Shorai still treated it as a warranty issue and shipped me a brand new battery. Incredible customer service. The paperwork specifically states that the warranty is voided under such circumstances but they treated me right. I never expected them to send me a brand new battery, but I hoped they might empathize with my situation and give me a discount. The cost of this charger, while not cheap, is less expensive than what I planned to pay for a replacement battery and I was happy to spend the money on this unit after the way they treated me.In regards to some of the negatives I’ve read in other customer reviews, it is true that the connections don’t feel particularly sturdy. That said, this unit will only be used when the bike is stationary in my garage so I don’t need it to be particularly rugged. The cable that connects the charger to your wall outlet is very short but if you have a surge protector strip, that will likely provide the extra length you’ll need. Otherwise, you’ll just have to park your vehicle very close to your outlet. The retractable hook is perfect for keeping the charger off the floor. Once it’s plugged into the outlet and connected to your battery, simply press whichever of the two buttons is appropriate to your needs, “Store” or “Charge”. The “Charge” mode should only have to be used once a year, according to the customer service rep I spoke with. I leave my bike connected in “Store” mode whenever I’m finished riding. This isn’t necessary if your bike has no parasitic draw when turned off but, if you have accessories connected that might suck juice from the battery when it’s off, the “Store” mode will keep you charged at around 80% at all times while also performing diagnostic and conditioning tasks on the battery. In either mode, the unit gives a loud series of beeps to let you know when it’s finished doing what it needs to do. That’s it. Connect it and press one button, depending on what you want to do. Couldn’t be any easier. An added benefit that I didn’t consider when I bought this is that it connects to your battery via a proprietary input on the battery itself, eliminating the need to have an SAE pigtail wired directly to your battery terminals. If you have multiple accessories connected to your battery, you might find that you need to use longer bolts to accommodate all of these things. Plugging a cable into a port on the battery saves you this problem.I’ve noticed that many different battery manufacturers are making their own chargers and saying that only theirs should be used with their batteries. A lot of it seems hokey to me, like a money grab, but the lithium technology is relatively new and I’m not going to take any chances. These batteries are fundamentally different than their lead acid counterparts so I’m going to trust the company that makes the battery to make the device that keeps the battery in the best possible condition.

Charged my shorai batter from absolute dead to full. Started up my motorcycle great. very easy to use, it has built in intelligence. I’m glad I bought the shorai charger instead of opting for a no name brand.

To all the the whiners who are complaining that this charger is NOT sturdy enough or too fragile or that the extension cord is too short………… well, go with a conventional lead acid battery and a battery tender and problem is solved. OK, maybe I’ve been a bit harsh here….not really! Simply follow the instructions and instead of hanging the charger anywhere and end up braking the little hook and start complaining, improvise and use a little stool or a box and place the charger there. You can also use the saddle of your motorbike to place it there, but because it is very light and with the slightest movement it might slip and fall, you’ll end up complaining again…. Now, if the extension which comes in the box is not long enough, either move the motorbike closer to the AC outlet or get a regular cable extension and hook it up there and you are good to go. As far as the 5 pin connectors, be a bit more careful when connecting to either the battery or the charger , it’s not like they are asking you to connect a spaceship to a satellite, so both can orbit the earth lol!!!! Some of you say that the charger will shut off if you don’t chose a selection(Charge or Store) within 30 seconds, well, be like “The Flash” from the 1990 TV series and problem is solved LOL!!!!!!!!!! Another good thing with a Shorai Lithium battery charger is that it shuts off after the Shorai battery is fully charged, while a conventional battery tender it’ll give you a solid green after the battery is fully charged, but WILL NOT shut off;;;;;;;; When you leave a conventional battery tender hooked up to your motorbike and to the AC outlet for a whole week, will still show a solid green light and probably will be hot enough to make an espresso or an omelet to start off the day LOL!!!!! I have to say that the thing that bothers me the most and I can’t figure it out yet, is the fact that most of you will spend a great amount of money to buy a motorbike, but you’ll be cheap and cut corners when it comes to a top of the line battery & charger, which at the end it will save time, money, be hassle free and will keep your Blood Pressure low lol!!!! Yeehawwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really great charger to charge and maintain my Shorai LFX battery. What could go wrong when you chose the battery charger made by the same manufacturer as your battery? I really liked the cable extension that I connected to my battery and routed under the seat and out. This gives me the possibility to connect my charger without having to remove my seat (LFX battery installed under my seat). My only concern is the longevity of the pin connectors. They look very fragile so be very careful every time you connect and disconnect your charger. Other inconvenience is that you will not be able to use this charger with other type of battery since it is made to connect to the BMS port of Shorai battery… But if you have a Shorai battery like I do, this is a no brainer… great product!
