[QUOTE=Bram;853765]This is the battery i put in my car. You can see the sort of wieght savings that are possible.
Yeah I was curious about this for the maintenance factor ie, not having to replace a battery every 2-3 years would be nice.
Bram do you think your lithium battery set up would work with a car like my betty that only gets driven twice a week?
I already use an agm type jet ski battery that requires trickle charging all the time to keep it strong, so I have no problem with doing the same on the next battery if it is smaller and lighter like your lithium jobbie.
Cheers fellas.
