Any experience with NOCO lithium batteries?

[Anders]

Friends,

not GG related, but...

I have an old Ducati bevelhead (Mille S2) that needs a good battery to start. It has no kickstarter. The last couple of decades I have had 2 Hawker Odessey PC652 batteries. They start the bike as expected, and they last for a long time. However, I need a new battery now. The Hawkers are good batteries, but very heavy, even for lead battries. Hence, I am asking myself if I should take the plunge and move into the modern world. I have used Lithium battery on my Bimota for many years without any problems. (I killed that battery using it as for my enduro helmet light, but that is another story).

There is a NOCO lithium battery that fits my application (the Duc), and it is quite expensive, as is the Hawker. In fact, the Noco can be had for a little less than the Hawker.

Any experience with these Noco batteries?
