Lithium batteries?

Thanks for the wealth of information Topless ( as always ).

I run Shorai on all my motorcycle but not my car. Battery just died last night so need a replacement. First thing I did was go to the Shorai site ( since I already have their charger ) but didn't see a "car" option. Glad to know the 36 worked for you but dang .. $300 is PRICEY!! Which of the 36 did you go with, they offer two of them.

Also, do you actually notice a difference when using the Shorai vs the 17# Deka in an AutoX environment ? Might be worth it to lose that extra 12# from my waist rather than pay an extra $200 to lose it from the battery.

My Deka is still sitting in it's box as new. I thought I killed my Shorai so I ordered the Deka hastily but a few hrs spent on the Shorai-specific charger brought it back to 98% capacity. 36 Ah is still better than 26 Ah and 5lb is better than 17. Sadly my butt dyno is simply not calibrated to measure a 12# weight difference. And... I ain't that good.
