[QUOTE="cruppelt, post: 889483, member: 19040"] +2 on the Shorai. You CAN use a standard charger, as long as you leave it on there only until you have full charge; the manufacturer does not want you to use any desulphate feature of continuing slow trickle once it's already full. My point is that the battery does not show a lot of loss even after leaving it standing for several weeks, which I had the chance to try out this year thanks to multiple surgeries, so there really is no need to keep hooking up. I've put mine in, checked that it had fully charged after a nice long run with the bike, checked it a couple of times later where it showed the exact same voltage and then forgot about it. The hope is that I won't think about it again for another 10 years if in fact I still have the bike at that time. About the veering - mine used to veer to the right, after the battery it was pretty much straight. After my fork rebuild it veers to the left... go figure! [/QUOTE]
