XS sells some lithium batteries.... What is the advantage to these? It says 7lbs so weight is one right? Lithium also charges faster correct??

For a weight conscious build is this a good option?

Unfortunately monetary reasons are limiting us from using Li batteries in all applications at the moment.

The world IS indeed moving in the direction of Li battery technology, but it's only been ~10 years since Li batteries starting taking off.

But eesh, you should have seen how expensive the buggers used to be.. **** near 60% less nowadays, but still unfathomably expensive if they were to be used for hardcore audio systems, as the more abuse the battery needs to take, of course the price follows.

It would be nice to have a lighter battery technology.

I'm in a little '97 BMW with worn out struts and it's riding LOWWW with 2 60lb subs in the back seat and 2 extra batteries in the trunk.
