Motobatt MPLXHK-P Battery Replacement 12V 2.5Ah LiFePO4.
High quality replacement battery for Motobatt MPLXHK-P, 12v 2.5ah 200cca lithium iron phosphate battery for motocross dirt bikes.
Batteries of this size and output are the electric start power source on modern competition motocross bikes, firing the engine over, running the ECU and fuel-injection system, and keeping the dash lights and cooling fan alive between starts. On a race bike every gram counts, which is exactly why manufacturers moved from heavier lead-acid or NiMH packs to compact lithium cells like this one.

There's no acid to check or top off, but if the bike sits idle for more than a few weeks, giving the battery a top-up charge keeps it ready to fire first kick (or first button-press) rather than discovering a flat pack on race day.
Lithium batteries shouldn't go in the household bin, the cells contain reactive materials that need proper handling at end of life. Most battery retailers and council recycling points accept old lithium packs free of charge, keeping the raw materials in circulation rather than in landfill.
Motocross is a seasonal sport for a lot of riders, and a bike parked up over winter is one of the quickest ways to shorten a lithium battery's life if it's left flat. Store it with a full charge, keep it somewhere dry rather than in a freezing shed, and give it a top-up every month or so through the off-season, a battery left fully discharged over a long lay-up will lose capacity it won't fully get back.
