I used these A123 Life cells to make a battery for my motorcycle. Four of them were enough to power my starter and I saved a ton of weight.

How many quarts of what weight oil were in the bike? Also, bike engine components are far lighter than automotive so you would need a lot more CCA's to turn it over.

I'm aware. From memory it was a little over 2 quarts, 10w-40. This is a fairly common mod for street bike guys.

I only used 4 cells- http://www.ebay.com/itm/A123-batter-...item2c58a6c2cb

You can damage the cells really easily though they are not your average battery. There are also a lot of counterfeits on the market.
