Re: XS Lithium batteries
I ran Anti Gravity lithium battery sometimes and never had an issue. Had to use a lithium smart charger with it and mine was a 12v.
Had enough juice to adjust the valves and spin it until oil pressure builds then start it. Cool down too. Weighed 4 lbs versus 42 lbs red top Optima |

Re: XS Lithium batteries
I ran (2) XS S1600 Lithium batteries last year with great results. No issues at all, doesn't require a special charger.

Re: XS Lithium batteries
All lithium batteries including Lithium Iron Phosphate "LiFe" can go into Thermal Runaway!!!
These are the same type of LiFE batteries that are in every brand mentioned in this post. The only way to prevent Thermal Runaway is if Battery has a Proper BMS (Battery Managment System) designed in. If you are looking at using a battery that does not, you are literally playing with fire. Does a battery with a BMS cost more? YES Is the Battery design more complicated? YES Are there more things that could be wrong with a BMS controlled battery vs. one with a bunch of cells wires together? YES, but the safety far out weights the alternative. Would you rather have a battery quit working or start your car on fire? Our Powerlite batteries have a Full 4 Year Warranty. We have had Zero failures in the BMS/Battery in the last 3 years and 0.01% since release. If you would like more info on one of the only SAFE batteries in motorsports please contact us. |
