Thread: Battery weight loss program

Awesome specs, but the price

What's the difference between a 'Lithium Amp Hour (LAH)' and the 'Amp Hour' rating quoted for a convention lead acid battery?

$200/amp hour

should be able to install them with your eyes shut

I thought you needed a special microprocessor charger for lithium batteries, how will it cope with a alternator ??
how does a Pulse Cranking Amp compare with Cold Cranking Amps

this ebay AGM seems reasonably priced at $178 for 1380 PCA (edit (dont think its lithium)

very compact size & low weight, thanks for bringing it to our attention, I'd never have considered Lithium before , hope there is no issue with alternator charging.

I have Li batteries in both motorbikes Shorai.. they run fine...
The manufacturer states they will charge fine on the alternator.

Rated to charge in under 30 minutes from the vehicle.

I do have a microprocessor charger for the bikes when they are parked up for a while...

MSRP $2249.00

lithium batteries wont generally fully recharge from an alternator.

but thats ok in practical terms the final few % that go missing are about the same % of charge that 90% of flooded cell batteries loose once their surface charge dissipates naturally.

I've often though of making up some NiMh packs I mean they use Nicads to start some aircraft.

Are they really 5.22 kg each, because 19.9 lbs isn't 5.22kg... I'd be checking.
