Do you run your bike with standard light bulbs or LED ?

Standard bulbs as the Prince of Darkness intended! ;) However, with lights on, the battery is discharging below around 2k RPM. With lights off, battery is charging at idle. LED headlight would, I assume, allow charging at idle.

As has been stated, the fully-charged voltage for a Shorai is higher than for a flooded battery. Therefore, my Shorai is NEVER fully charged. Based on voltage checks, it has lived all these years at around 80% charged. So, although in theory that's bad, in reality, it has had no adverse impact at all.
