I run an earthworks lithium battery & all lights are LED!!! I rode the bike for a week & never had to charge the battery!! The battery has a special fuse in it to allow you to charge it with a regular automati c charger!!! I run the headlight with a led lighted toggle switch, led whip & led tail light are on all the time until the quick disconnect is unhooked!! No issues with the batter holding its charge!! I payed $150 for the battery, $5 for the switch, $20 for the tail light, $97 for the led light bar is a spot beam 12 diode light!!!! Very cheap & low maintenance!! If the battery needs to charged it can be during the day!!!!
