turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 2m 10d Gender: Male Posted 15/09/10 03:07 AM Author Share Posted 15/09/10 03:07 AM Around $300. I am going to put an order in for a few to put into the families car for testing. Its really real world testing that will determine whether this battery is any good for a standard everyday family car but for race/drag cars it does the job fine.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 2m 10d Gender: Male Posted 15/09/10 05:25 AM Author Share Posted 15/09/10 05:25 AM Its 15kg difference in weight.Re: Group buy, can do but no warranty would be offered as this is largely experimental for long term Automotive use. But for the bloke who builds his own race/drag car and is prepared to fabricate a few brackets I would think its ready to use. To save 10-15kg of weight and even if the battery lasted for 6 months, its cheap. But to say that they are high quality batteries so technically in ideal environment lithiums last a very long time.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 2m 10d Gender: Male Posted 15/09/10 06:23 AM Author Share Posted 15/09/10 06:23 AM yes low voltage cutoutyes cell balancing via balance bars. Not by dedicated Battery management system as deemed not necessaryDont know about this 5 initial charges but I would assume the manufacturer would do this if it helpsApparently the normal car charger will be OK. I just asked this question to the supplier. I am in the process of bringing in 4 batteries for my own use.

Posted 15/09/10 07:31 AM Share Posted 15/09/10 07:31 AM Can you jump these like a normal battery if it goes flat or lights left on etc etc? or use RACV jump packs?
