    WTB: Shorai Battery

    I'm sick of buying new batteries for the trumpet so I am willing to give one of these a shot.

    This is what I need.
    http://www.shoraipower.com/p-149-lfx12a1-bs12.aspx

    Here's the problem. They went to every motorcycle show in the country and everyone loved them. They were backordered until mid-late april but they are made in Japan... no one knows when they're gonna be more around.

    Anyone able to help?

    Shorai is new to the USA.
    They're not out of stock so much as they just aren't here yet in volume.
    Give it a little time.
    Expect to see a regular stock by end of April.

    FYI - For those of you who don't know these are Lithium "Iron" batteries that are promissed to work better in bikes than Lithium ION.
    Supposedly they can sit for up to a year without a trickle charger and they do not generate heat like Li-Ion and they're light to boot.
    I'm jonesing to try them myself.

    I have one in my Sprint. Awesome power from such a tiny battery!
    They have been back ordered for a while now, they've been selling like hot cakes!

    Brad, the owner, is a real resourcefull guy. I normally get my stuff in 2-3 days after placing my orders with them.
