What's Your Favorite 16v Battery? - Page 2

My favorite 16 volt battery is the in my competitions car. Fairly good chance of failure. Anything below 12 to 1 compression will never see any performance from the extra voltage. The starter, the water pump and the fan running faster will never make a car go faster, but a bad 16 volt battery ( real common) will lose a race.

We had two Turbo Start 16 in all three SS cars. Charged well with their chargers and never had a problem. This was even before the shut down feature to protect the batteries.
Took separate 12 volt battery with cord to run pump and fan in lanes if needed.

Check out our Powerlite Lithium batteries.

We offer several capacities from 7 to 10 pounds and have a new 16V920SS super start battery that cranks at 1500 amps and has 16 amp hour capacity. I would normally recommend our 16V1200 for non-alternator cars, but have been running this battery in my super stock car for the past two seasons and have been able to go a couple rounds without charging it in a pinch! It is an awesome battery at a great price.

If you think the weight is the only benefit to lithium give us a call to find out more.
