My 159's battery is close to dying again. We rarely drive the car and occasionally forget to put the charger on so it completely discharges.
I was thinking of switching to a lithium battery instead. Keen to hear thoughts and recommendations?
Cheers,
Jeremy
The number of Evs & electric scooters exploding due to lithium batteries, you do so at your own risk.check with your ins co. also
Apples aren't apples. It is not a direct changeover from lead acid to lithium. The latter requires a battery management system between the alternator and the battery. This is to control charge rate and temperature monitoring. Some lithium types have this built in -not all do.
Consult your local auto electrician workshop for the appropriate solution.
Absolutely agree with GTV6SA.
Lithium batteries won't handle the under-bonnet temperatures typical of an IC engined car.
Son works for Mazda Australia. None of their hybrids use a Li-ion starter battery - all lead acid.
The wife's new Tonale has a lead acid starter battery!
