Hi there.
I dont have any knowledge about ION battery.
But i did Denmark - Cape town - Denmark 55.000 km on a XT600E in 2011/2012 and like to share my electrical experience.
I build my XT with reinforced subframe, MX wheels and dual electrical system + kickstart. Only ekstra electrical equipment on the bike was my GPS.
Coming down west africa was hard on the bike and first i lost the starter relay / solenoid - my battery died in Angola (left home with 1.5 year old Yuasa)
On the back up east africa i lost a second starter relay / solenoid but my new battery from Cape town took me all the way home.
Total damage was 2 solenoid and 1 batteri 3 fork seals and a broken frame.
Have a great trip
best regards
