JohnCh Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 The owner of LithiumMoto contacted me yesterday asking permission to post about his LiFePO4 batteries. I don’t want to turn this forum into a place where vendors post ads, but given this product is in a category that has a lot of interest, and I’ve never heard them mentioned in prior threads, I thought I would share the link for awareness. https://lithiummoto.com They are a boutique manufacturer based in FL who make custom batteries in addition to their two production units which include a Battery Management System, low battery restart feature, an aluminum case that aids in thermal management, and are repairable. I've found positive online references dating back to 2012, so they've been around for a while. Does anyone have experience with them? -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papak Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 John, I've been using a similar lithium technology battery for the last six months now and love it. Made by Battery Tender, it sells for a little over $200 as I recall. I never have to leave it on the float charger (as I used to have to with the Braille). It only weighs about 3.2 lbs as opposed to the 9+ of the Braille. Internal BMS, smaller footprint and multiple connector choices. It seems to be immune to vibration issues. I have noticed that the VM readings while running are a little lower than with the Braille, about 13.5v. The Braille showed about 14.4.

JohnCh Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 I converted to LiFePO4 over 9 years ago. I still shake my head in awe when picking it up. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SENC Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Are they useable with positive earth and generators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCh Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 No clue, but might be worth contacting a few manufacturers. They typically have pretty tight charging voltage windows, so the generator could be problematic. -John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
