Those Silicone Salt Batteries look and sound ideal except a 150 Amp 12 volt Battery weighs 101 pounds…two in Parallel would be a killer weight wise…..Darn if only they were the weight of LiFe Po4 batteries. The Lithium Ion batteries weight Savings is awesome…..but I live in country too cold for them…Guess I’ll just have to stick with my AGM’s

This is called the FINE PRINT Gotcha. I spent a good deal of my career in R&D. I LEARNED early on to ask where are the GOTCHAS. Li Batteries are great, unless it gets cold or hot. Problem to be solved and I have done a lot of that, but one has to be wary…there is no free lunch or magic potions. Right now my Lead Acid Odessy Extremes are still the leader the pack ALL things considered.
Early on in my career:
YES WE CAN DO THAT Sir…OK Great then SHOW ME!
I spent just over $12 MILLION of your money to fix the issue after I opened my mouth and said ‘yes we can do that’.
