I am building a custom Fazer, is anyone using a lithium ion batter they can send me a link to?

Thanks,

Good point.
They both charge at way over 12 volts so there would be no issues with overcharging, but i'm sure they've taken these things into account already.

the attached photo is from a 1.2amp lithium battery

think about the burns you would get of a 10-20amp lithium battery

dont risk it just get your self a lead battery and replace it when you need to(https://www.google.com/search?biw=1680&bih=936&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=hmlkXIyQI7WT1fAP-ImfuAE&q=lithium+burn&oq=lithium+burn&gs_l=img.3..35i39l2j0l5j0i5i30j0i8i30l2.13608.16253..16519...0.0..0.125.1157.12j3......1....1..gws-wiz-img.......0i30j0i24j0i67.1ztQ1CLBIaM#imgrc=R9DuiWq5uzJ50M:)

If everyone on one flight had the same idea and something went wrong then as you can only imagine the results would be devestating.
