I've been reading up on these all night. They appear to be making the Lithiums for XS. Price per size is the same but they have smaller ones.

Don't say anything about the price, they have been shown to equal 3 times the same size AGM.

That's ridiculous you think they will perform better than a agm... Last longer? 1k dollar battery

I'm looking at the little $500 one for the back.

K so I don't know much about batteries but what does the phca stand for and why is it rated in watt hours not ah

Don't know. Different tech

Not that expensive if they really can replace 3 same size agm's...the weight savings alone is worth some extra coin imo.

A few evo guys going this route too. Just to replace the stocker. Cutting weight everywhere they can lol

I was thinking this from the start but everyone I knew about was only making big batts

Lithium is the way to go, just take very good care of them. Very powerful, and recharges very quick.

Pulse hot cranking amp..

Same thing as CA (cranking amp), but works hot when first pull is done due to the lithium needing heat.

These will not work to good with agm or acid battery as it requires very fast amperage rates which would cause the other batteries to live half the original usage rate.

It be best used as a main battery or a system consisting of only lithium.

Recommended charge rate for 12v lithium is 14.5-14.8.

I'd like to try these, but need to buy new tires for my truck. That's my next few paychecks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Gonna be honest with you bro.

We have a ton of issues from clients having problems with these charging from normal alts and even more so with HO alts. We are currently in the works on designing a alternator specifically designed to charge Lithium batteries.

Our specific applications are 24v and 48v however, so a 12v battery may be different. But I'd be willing to bet it isn't.

being in the rc helis for the past 15 year the batterys have changed a lot.

now every body is using li-fe/ or lipos .

alot better battery.

faster recharges, light weight , and fast discharge.

and was wandering when they would come out with a good 12v lipo .

and i would NEVER put a amg and lipo together.

dont do it.

ether get all lipos or all amg.
