[DeTomaso] Couple Of Qs

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

Is there any concern with older alternator/regulator charging?   I though LI
products needed a "smart" charger.

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.
