HY110 – Honda Africa Twin Lithium Battery – Skyrich

Description

This Skyrich HY110 lithium battery is designed for the Honda Africa Twin and has three times the cranking power of the OEM battery. This is the hardest-cranking battery you can get for this bike and it’ll fire up the big twin with ease.

Skyrich is a premium lithium battery manufacturer and OEM supplier to leading motorcycle brands including KTM, Ducati, and Honda. The Skyrich Power Sports Lithium range combines advanced lithium-ion technology with a robust, waterproof nylon housing and reinforced brass terminals for maximum reliability and performance. This CRF1000 and CRF1100 fitment also fits the NT1100.

Replacing a conventional lead-acid battery with a Skyrich lithium battery can reduce weight by 2kg, with no modifications required.

Key Features & Benefits

• Integrated Overcharge Protection (OP) via advanced Battery Management System (BMS)
• Automatic cell balancing for even charging and long service life
• Approx. one-third the weight of a comparable lead-acid battery
• Waterproof to IP65 – safe for high-pressure washing
• Heat-resistant nylon housing – resistant to deformation
• Reinforced brass terminals for excellent conductivity
• Can be mounted in any position (acid-free)
• Very low self-discharge (max. 5% per month)
• Fast charging capability (up to 90% in approx. 6 minutes)
• No acid and no heavy metals

Performance Advantages

• Lithium batteries can use almost 100% of their capacity, compared to approx. 30% for lead-acid
• Only one-third of the Ah rating is required to achieve equivalent starting power
• Guaranteed starting performance down to -5°C

Spacer adapters ensure the battery matches the dimensions and connections of the original lead-acid battery, allowing installation in just a few minutes.

Charging & Safety Information

• Use only suitable lithium chargers
• Recommended charging current: 3 A
• Maximum charging current (fast charge): 30A
• Do not use desulphation chargers exceeding 14.9 V
• Overcharge protection prevents charging above 14.9 V

Technology

• 12v maintenance-free lithium-ion battery
• LiFePO₄ (iron phosphate) cathode with lithium-polymer manufacturing process
• Extremely high safety standard – no risk of fire or explosion under normal use
• Long service life and stable performance

Cheaper alternative

If you want a lithium battery but don’t need the best one there is, then check out the JMT HY110 Africa Twin lithium replacement, which has 270 cranking amps, as opposed to the 400 this battery has. It still have twice the cranking amps of the OEM battery.

CHARGING

Please note that only suitable chargers may be used for charging. We recommend this NOCO Genius 1 battery charger, which charges both normal and lithium batteries.

For the maximum recommended charging currents, please refer to the technical data below:

Under no circumstances should chargers be used that attempt to desulphate deep-discharged batteries under 10 volts with a voltage of more than 14.9 volts before they begin the actual charge. The maximum charging voltage of 14.9 volts must never be exceeded. Recommended charging current is 1A and the maximum charging current is 12A.
