Lithium

[total mayhem 3]

So, I was wondering if you could post your full line of lithium batteries on here. I am also curious of how many 12v versions you have and/or may be developing in the future. I know lithium batts are very particular in regards to were there voltage levels need to be, so with that said, how do these fit into a car audio setting? What if any, testing have you done? I wouldnt mind possibly running several in my truck if the benefits would be worth it. Thank you

I've only seen them in the racing scene due to small size.

It would make your truck and your wallet lighter. I could be wrong but I think these are aimed more toward the race crowd.

These are not meant to be used in car audio only in racing... as of yet. They are too expensive and require a very specific charge.

thanks for the input and responses. Also T Dog when you say "specific charge", are you reffering to how they are charged or the sustained voltage they need to operate properly?

Both.

If overheated or overcharged, Li-ion batteries may suffer thermal runaway and cell rupture.[58] In extreme cases this can lead to combustion. Deep discharge may short-circuit the cell, in which case recharging would be unsafe.

-Typically, lithium-ion cells are charged with 4.2 ± 0.05 V/cell, except for military long-life cells where 3.92 V is used for extending battery life. Most protection circuits cut off if either 4.3 V or 90 °C is reached. If the voltage drops below 2.50 V per cell, the battery protection circuit may also render it unchargeable with regular charging equipment.

thank you very much
