If, only if I remember this correctly it should be YTX14AH-BS I think.....
That is a sealed variant that I fitted on mine.
Original , again I think is: YB14-A2
I can check it tomorrow if you want.

Those are LiFePo4 cells. Several friends have been riding the last season with such packs (homebrew though), and they have been satisified.

You can get quality packs of Ebay at a muych better price e.g:
http://stores.ebay.com/OMG-Battery/Motorcycle-Start-Battery-/_i.html?_fcid=192&_fsub=1297677014&_jgr=0&_localstpos=&_sid=450554384&_stpos=&gbr=1

Another alternative is Shorai who puts LiFePo4 cells in plastic cases with the same size as standard motorcycle batteries. Plug and play, and price less than half from "Speedcell".

I bought a Durbahn LiFePo4 A123-based battery pack a year ago. The intended usage was as a BB1 Supermono battery, but haven't got around to mounting it in my Supermono yet. I'll have to figure out where to put it, as I'm quite sure the standard batterybox (oil tank) will be to hot. I have used it as a HID helmet lamp battery for winter night-time enduro riding though. 2 hours of 35W HID power in less than one kg of battery is not bad at all.

The only drawback I can think of using these batteries, is that you need a LiFePo4-compatible charger if you want to treat the batteries right (balancing them from time to time).

I have a Hyperion EOS 0606i charger, one of the smaller in the Hyperion range.

However, to be able to use this charger for balancing, the battery must have a balancing connectector. My battery (Durbahn) has this connector, but I am not sure if this is true for all types. The balancing connector is usually a small multipin connector with 5 thin wires attached, like you see in the link below.
