I've not tried them or read of anyone who has on a wing. I did read of them being used on a KZ650. Supposedly works very well and can be stashed in odd places. His setup used what looked like flashlight batteries wired together. I don't recall the type now.

I have read of a guy using 12 volt emergency light dry cell batteries.
They worked but have very little reserve and cranking capacity.
What I know about them is enough to know they won't work because they're designed for very slow drain and not repeated charge cycles.

That is an AGM battery, not dry cell.cooltech":1qj0tw0l said:
Well they sort of are dry cell but not really.
But yeah, lotsa guys running AGM batteries, Odyssey and others.
I have an Odyssey and happy with it.
Best part is no acid to deal with and never have to add water.
Put it in and forget about it.
I think $135 is a little high but if you don't have to pay shipping it might be ok.

Ni-Cad and Li-Ion are rechargeable dry-cell batteries.
Think cordless drills and laptop batteries.
Most laptop battery packs are actually comprised of rechargeable AA's. Same with cordless drills.
Many racers (strip racers) run Li-Ion packs as total-loss systems and over-volt their ignitions. 19V-26V is common.
Most packs for the strip are homemade.
