[DeTomaso] Couple Of Qs

[Sean Korb]

Half the weight and 5 times the cost:

Also twice the reserve AH reserve capacity too and with my 2500CFM
fans pulling 20A in bumper to bumper idling traffic... that could be
handy as the Raleigh/Durham area becomes Atlanta.

I've been wondering how these fare long term.  They are supposed to
last twice as long or more than an AGM battery too.  Could be easily
relocated to the rear of the car but it's not hard to build a bucket
in the trunk for it. I'm not sure of the chemistry though.  If it is
not LiFeP04 the failure mode is... very intense.  I was thinking of
Hammond's crash and while Pb batteries also explode, the energy cooped
up in a higher rated Lithium battery is stunning when released.
