Litime used to be called Amperetime .. before they disappeared. funny how the absolute cheapest stuff is the most promoted.

working at an auto parts store, talking to repair shops and auto dealers, reading, studying... You cant upgrade to a better battery at a lower price. That universe does'nt exist. You didnt say what your willing to spend to upgrade, which is telling...

"handling the needs for a longer period of time " .. "isnt worth the expense" a battery that lasts longer will cost more than a flooded lead acid of course. You dont need bigger .. you need better. So, what is the upper limit of " the expense" your willing to go ??? Usually car dealers use the...

I cant believe 12V battery discussions are still narrowly focused on lithium. That debate is over. SODIUM ion batteries are the new power kid on the block. More advantages than LiFepo4. Check out Lithiummoto for more info, and no, neither Amazon or AntiG has them. price you ask ? .. A group 51R...

to monitor the 12V battery anytime use an external bluetooth unit like this

And the point of this discussion is ?

All the $60 or so battery specs I looked at on Amazon all use the same low rate cells. 20A max with some with 40A peak with the smallest BMS / PCB. None of these would work in an EV or any car in my opinion (after 12 years of being involved in the Li battery business ). And, Amazon return policy...

The only reason I can think of to use lead over lithium is upfront cost. $200 vs $250 . This is short term thinking that is more expensive in the long run. I rarely hear of anyone willing to spend the extra $50... it's crazy.

overcharging ? ... overcharging a lead acid produces hydrogen gas, so, you have a choice; fire or explosion ! ha

my 2019 leaf's battery wont hold a charge, so, I looked at Napa agm, $228 + tax = $244 with 3 yr warranty vs a LiFepo4 from LithiumMoto for $250 with 4 yr warranty.

You can try one from LithiumMoto, they are still in business.
