Mousewheels had an article about these things. His concern IIRC was around charge / discharge rate of SLA vs. flooded cells. Worth a read.
On the heated grips, suggest considering a separate cell to manage power to them, or just don't run them 100% of time (5 minutes on / 10 minutes off) if that makes sense.

What about lithium battery's ?
Re: sa50 heated grips ?
Ooooooohh ya I like the second battery idea. They make really small battery's in 12 volt and even some power drills come w 12 volt Batts and chargers. Maybe hook em up to a drill battery that you can swap and charge easy. No drain on the system, just limited heating time.

So IÔÇÖm back to this the kimpex elements turned out to be and junk and the solder joints broke after about five minutes of riding.
But today I installed some heat demon elements and they work great I rode around for about 20 minutes with no problem so we will see if the stator can keep up.

Re: sa50 heated grips ?
I have the grip heaters on my ATV's seeing I run them year around. Grip heaters do help, but on real cold days -0 but I find by wearing mittens instead gloves helps also. Other times like on cool wet days in the warmer seasons when your not wearing gloves you will just love the warm grips. It will well be worth your time installing them. In my older years I only ride my 2 wheel bikes on hot dry summer days so I don't need grip heaters on them.
