The Shorai LFXTM lithium batteries are intended for motorized sports and replace the original ones (lead-acid). Many advantages can be derived from the Shorai LFXTM since the product is lighter, more efficient and offers better performance than the traditional lead-acid batteries. [![KPNews_batterie_shorai_3](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPNews_batterie_shorai_3.jpg?width=642&height=336&name=KPNews_batterie_shorai_3.jpg)](https://blog.kimpex.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPNews_batterie_shorai_3.jpg)   ### Various partnerships Over the last 4 years, Shorai has entered into several partnerships to highlight their product. Think particularly of the prestigious MotoGP race in Laguna Seca, the AMA Superbike series, the NASCAR teams or of the new BUELL EBR 1190RX motorcycle which will be equipped with it from the start. The company was not well known in Canada, but since this past April Kimpex is now the exclusive partner for the distribution of Shorai LFXTM lithium batteries in Canada. Read the [press release](https://blog.kimpex.com/2014/04/kimpex-new-distributor-shorai-lfx-batteries-canada). [![KPNews_batterie_shorai_4](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPNews_batterie_shorai_4.jpg?width=642&height=202&name=KPNews_batterie_shorai_4.jpg)](https://blog.kimpex.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPNews_batterie_shorai_4.jpg)   ### Shorai LFXTM According to the company, these new lithium batteries: • **Are up to 80% lighter than the conventional acid ones** **• Do not deteriorate or undergo chemical degradation when the vehicle is  stationary** **• Supply higher voltage for better starts** **• Offer a competitive warranty on the market** Furthermore, Shorai LFXTM lithium batteries come in various sizes and therefore adapt to several types of vehicles such as motorcycles, quads, scooters, boats and lawnmowers, to name but a few.[![KPNews_batterie_shorai_5](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPNews_batterie_shorai_5.jpg?width=642&height=112&name=KPNews_batterie_shorai_5.jpg)](https://blog.kimpex.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/KPNews_batterie_shorai_5.jpg)   ### My opinion By developing a new technology such as the lithium batteries, I believe that Shorai has done a great job these past years in order to compete. An effort was made to produce batteries in various formats and levels of performance which are adaptable to many types of vehicles. Added to this, the strategic, high-profile partners are proof of the company’s credibility. Despite a higher price, the new lithium battery technology seems very promising by supplying high-intensity discharges upon starting, along with increased longevity. A little downside, these batteries seem to offer only advantages, but only time will tell if this technology will surpass that of traditional batteries (lead-acid) which have proved their mettle for decades. **What are your thoughts on it?** [Motorcycle](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/motorcycle) [Motorcycle Parts and Accessories](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/motorcycle-parts-and-accessories) [Quad Parts and Accessories](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/quad-parts-and-accessories) [ATV-UTV](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/atv-utv) [![Share on Facebook](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/facebook-24x24.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kimpex.com%2F2014%2F09%2Fshorai-high-performance-lithium-batteries%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/linkedin-24x24.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kimpex.com%2F2014%2F09%2Fshorai-high-performance-lithium-batteries%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/twitter-24x24.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kimpex.com%2F2014%2F09%2Fshorai-high-performance-lithium-batteries%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kimpex.com%2F2014%2F09%2Fshorai-high-performance-lithium-batteries%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Shorai%20High%20Performance%20Lithium%20Batteries) [![Share on Pinterest](https://static.hubspot.com/final/img/common/icons/social/pinterest-24x24.png)](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.kimpex.com%2F2014%2F09%2Fshorai-high-performance-lithium-batteries%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dpinterest&media=) [![clickngo2](https://blog.kimpex.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_KPN_recent/Images/Side-bar-pub/KPX_Blog_ClickNGo2_770x100_En.jpg?width=770&height=100&name=KPX_Blog_ClickNGo2_770x100_En.jpg)](https://info.kimpex.com/atv-quad-snow-plow-click-n-go) ### Related posts ## [The Making of The Atlas Helmet](https://blog.kimpex.com/the-making-of-the-atlas-helmet) By [Kimpex](https://blog.kimpex.com/the-making-of-the-atlas-helmet/author/) | on 04, Jun 2026 |  [Motorcycle](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/motorcycle) [Motorcycle Gear](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/motorcycle-gear) [helmets](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/helmets) [adventure](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/adventure) [Atlas](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/atlas) [CKX](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/ckx) The Atlas adventure helmet started with a simple idea: create a motorcycle helmet truly designed for the realities of North American riders, both on the road and out on the trails.[ Read more](https://blog.kimpex.com/the-making-of-the-atlas-helmet) ## [How to choose the right LS2 helmet for your riding style](https://blog.kimpex.com/how-to-choose-the-right-ls2-helmet-for-your-riding-style) By [Kimpex](https://blog.kimpex.com/how-to-choose-the-right-ls2-helmet-for-your-riding-style/author/) | on 12, May 2026 |  [Motorcycle](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/motorcycle) [Motorcycle Gear](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/motorcycle-gear) [helmets](https://blog.kimpex.com/topic/helmets) Picking a helmet isn’t just about looks.
