The Li are either love it or hate it, a lot of them fail. I suspect it's because the charging system does not limit charge current to a safe value.

That Scorpion looks good too! Yes I have heard a lot of odd stories about the lithiums. Some great, some bad. I've had one in my DR650 for 4 years and it's awesome. Never charged it, always works.
