I just hooked up a Gorilla 9100 alarm to a Shorai LFX14L2-BS12 battery housed in a plastic container a little bit bigger than a 3 x 5 Index card box. I picked this battery since it had a lot of amps for such a small size. There is a smaller battery equivalent to a 9 AHr motorcycle battery. The alarm is under the seat near the back of the bike with the remote/pager antenna about mid way under the seat. The alarm works great and does not tap into the DC-DC power. The battery box is locked in the powertank compartment (where the gas tank is on other bikes). The battery also powers a Denali Soundbomb air horn that is triggered off the stock horn button. Both horns also works at the same time since I'm not drawing current from the DC-DC power. All it needs is the signal current to the stock horn to the 85 and 86 tabs on the relay.
With these two devices hooked up, it's been 33 days since and it still reads 13.36 volts but I have only used the alarm when I park in dubious locations.
