    Which components to swap when going LifePo4

    Hey guys.
    I have a LifePo4 battery from an old project that I'd like to use on my 1980 gs850g.
    I'm just wondering which stator or reg/rec I can use with this change and what I should avoid.
    The battery has BMS built in so I'm wondering if it will be fine as it is.

    What I know about those batteries could be written on a postage stamp
    There is BMS and BMS. These batteries are evolving fast so I would ask the manufacturer about the capabilities of the BMS, specifically the range of acceptable inputs.
    Afaik they operate at a slightly higher voltage. Some trickle chargers may struggle.
    Hopefully someone here has used one and will come by.

      Make sure you have a modern mosfet RR like a SH775 as the charging voltages on those batteries are critical…
