Question most people searching this topic are looking for is how to wake up a flat Shorai / lithium batter when you DON'T have a Shorai-specific charger, so this video was a time sink.

When mine went dead and I couldn't get it to wake up with traditional methods I wanted to find a way to make it happen. Turns out I did, and that's what this video is about. It offers a solution to a problem. I'm sorry if it wasn't the solution you were looking for but I do appreciate the feedback. I could potentially add that in the description of the video perhaps.

Take a shot every time he says 'um'

You are OK. You are not running for president. You are trying to help us with our batteries. The guy who complained is a a hole who prefers naked men.

Thanks for the video! I just bought a Shorai battery for my 2013 Yamaha fz800. My old battery wouldn't start my bike after leaving it on the tender for a week. Did my research and bought a Shorai battery. It started right up! But my Whole issue is/was...do I keep my old Tender(it does have a Lithium setting on it). Or...do I bit the bullet and buy a Shorai charger? Well...seeing your video helped me to decide to go ahead and buy the correct charger for this battery. Thanks again Brother!

You bet! Glad it was helpful!

How's the battery holding up ? I had the same problem. I have a Ducati Monster and connected a lithium charger to it every couple of weeks in the Winter. At the weekend, the battery was completely flat, I have no idea why. The charger I had wouldn't work, so got an optimate charger specifically for flat batteries. It's on charge now so will check voltage in a minute.

It's been great! If the optimate doesn't work I highly recommend this shorai charger. Totally brought it back to life.

@@alex_theviking Just checked the voltage 13.3, hope it works ok. Still don't understand, why it went completely flat, thanks for sharing the video, cheers from the UK

you didnt need that shorai charger / bms puts battery to sleep you wake it up with another 12v battery then use your old charger to charge back up

So are you saying you can do a normal car jump start to revive the battery again? I thought it would ruin the motorcycle battery since it’s smaller than the car battery
