Lithium battery

Anyone use it for daily driver? It's superlight compared to standard lead acid battery.

This is the lithium battery 9.25 lbs, stock is 60 lbs.
Usable capacity of stock 95 Ah lead acid battery is 30% x 95 = 28.5 Ah
Usable capacity of 34 Ah lithium battery is 90% x 34 = 30.6 Ah
So actually lithium is 1/6 the weight of lead acid with bigger usable capacity.
But it cost 10 times more

No man.. you don't want that. You can get a 11lbs beautiful black PC680 Odyssei for about $100-$120. It is the prefer light weight battery for the people that do drag racing and other events where light weight is paramount.

Exactly, the lithium batttery looks good, but do you really want to spend nearly 2k on it?

You could also use the one that keith is using braileB205 battery

Here's what I use on my race car.
Lithium battery provides enough amperage for the car electronics.
The Braille batteries are great but the smaller unit might not be providing enough amperage for a daily driver
