Ballistic Performance 8 Cell EVO2 Battery

The 8 Cell EVO2 model is our primary product. The 8 Cell model will work with everything from 450cc MX bikes to 1000cc multi-cylinder motorcycles. This battery is robust, impact resistant, water resistant, and has more starting punch than 90% of all the powersports lead-acid batteries available. Most motorcycles in this range use an OEM battery that weighs up to 10.7lbs. The 8 Cell Ballistic Performance Components EVO2 Battery weighs a little over 1.5lbs. That is a weight savings of 9.3lbs for less than $160! If your powersports vehicle has a modified motor or operates in extreme conditions then we would recommend upgrading to the 12 Cell for added durability.

  • Dimensions: 112MM (L) x 60MM (W) x 103MM (H)
  • Positive Terminal Location: Left
  • Weight: 825 grams (1.81 lb)
  • Voltage (Charged): 13.6V
  • Amperage: 15 Pbeq A/H
  • Cold Cranking Amps: 275 CCA
  • Operating Environment: -18°C (0°F) to 60°C (140°F)
  • Typical Applications: 1000cc and under multi-cylinder motorcycles and 450cc singles.

Note: Ballistic Batteries may not be a drop in replacement, some modification to battery box, terminals etc may be necessary. See Ballistic / Yuasa Comparison charts below for detailed measurements and weights.

Your powersports vehicle is the pinnacle of modern technology. It is made with the latest lightweight, high tech materials to be the most high performance vehicle on the road, lake, track or trail. You have modified your powersports vehicle with the best in carbon fiber, titanium, and magnesium in an effort to gain every last ounce of performance. Yet, under your seat is a heavy hunk of lead that was designed in the mid 1800’s.

Ballistic Performance Component Batteries use the latest, state of the art lithium ferrous energy storage technology available to provide you with a smaller, lighter, higher energy battery. Each Ballistic Performance Component Battery is assembled by hand in the USA using computer designed custom proprietary cells, cases, and hardware.

  • Up to 80% smaller than the stock battery
  • Up to 10lbs Lighter than the stock battery
  • Service life of over twice a lead acid in similar conditions
  • Industry leading 3 year warranty
  • Designed, developed, and assembled in the USA
  • Hard mounted brass terminals for a direct replacement installation
  • Completely “dry” technology so batteries can be mounted in any direction
  • Non-toxic, recyclable, and can be air shipped
  • Applications for powersports vehicles from 50cc - 1800cc
  • Tested extensively by professional race teams
  • Impact and water resistant
  • Works with the orignial equipment charging system
  • No trickle charger required, loses only 10% of charge over a year of static use

Does not work below 50° Fahrenheit. Do not buy! This battery has left me stranded every time it gets below 52°… I contacted Ballistic and they said this is normal for this battery in cold temperatures. It was 50°!!!. This battery does not perform as advertised - 'operating temps : 32°-140° Fahrenheit.'. An outright lie. False advertising for a garbage product, and no they would not refund my money. Do Not Buy!! May 12, 2013
Not for the North East My personal experience and experiences of my forum will tell you that these are not meant for cold weather riding. Techs from lithium battery companies (including Shorai) will tell you that it takes about 5mins before it cranks an engine over, some times it'll even need a heavy current draw running through. The brand new one I tried could not start my bike during Jan, even after a night's charge. However if you live in warmer climates or only ride in warmer months, I would definitely recommend this or Shorai. It is the cheapest way to remove weight from up top, not to mention give you more room under the seat for other things. It also comes with padding foam so your battery isn't just flopping around inside. April 5, 2013
Incredible weight savings So far I'm quite pleased with the Ballistic 8 cell battery. The finish is very good, and the weight savings is just shocking compared to the stock unit. Installation did require some Tetris skills, as it was too tall to fit in my MV Agusta standing up. Operation wise It seems to start the bike fine despite dealing with thick winter oil. Perhaps with a little less punch than the factory battery, I have noticed it helps to turn the key on for about a minute prior to thumbing the starter March 4, 2013
This is a battery! As soon as I received the battery I couldn't believe the size and weight of it! An awesome battery and good way to shed some weight off you're bike! December 3, 2012
Light, well built Polarity is opposite a standard 05 WR 450. Had to reroute battery cables but fits almost perfect! October 27, 2012
Light and Neat but not as powerful I bought this 8-cell Ballistic Performance battery as a replacement for the stock battery for my Honda VT1000F Superhawk. It was replaced just before a mountain trip as my previous battery was starting to get weak. Upon receiving the pack I was amazed at how light and how small it is. Fitting it was not as easy as you would think. With it being so short and so narrow the battery cables could not actually reach the terminals. I had to space the battery right up (not a big deal) also re-organise the cables to give them a little more length. I charged the battery as it was down by 1 volt. The true test would be how it performs. Well I'm slightly dissapointed. It does start the big V-twin fine, but not with the vigor of the previous battery. It just lacks a bit of cranking power, and before you ask! This is the recommended pack for my bike. That said, considering the weight saving, if this battery holds out for 4 years, I will be pleased. October 8, 2012
Works as advertised. Installed in my 2002 Valkyrie. Did not precharge prior to installation, but it worked perfectly. The only (slight) problem I had was getting the battery to fit the battery box. It's much smaller than the original, so I had to add padding underneath and around the new one to make it fit. Also, because the cables are now closer together than before, I had to modify the battery cover to get it to fit properly. It's too early to say whether this one will last longer than my last one (which made it 9 years!), but I'll keep you updated. I've recommended this battery to all my friends. October 15, 2012
lightweigh, powerful, fits well I have only had it a short while so I will only comment on the installation. I got the EVO2 12 cell for my 2009 R1. I got the standard battery not the "L" version upon recommendation by Revzilla staff. It installed very easily, it fit the compartment where the original was and I used tha packing material to make sure the battery stayed put. Easy install. So far, I am happy with it. Especially with the weight - it is so much lighter! August 6, 2012

Answer: 
Your 2003 Yamaha FZ1 takes a YT14B-BS battery. According to Ballistic Performance's comparison chart linked in the product description, the 8 Cell is the correct one for your bike. It is a little smaller than a standard motorcycle battery so we would suggest getting some foam padding from a hobby shop and cut it to fill the space.

just measure where your battery goes for me the batter was smaller then the space i cut some foam that came with the battery to keep it snug. Haven't even charged my battery once or even thought about it.
