Thread: Lithium vs regular deep cycle batteries?

SuperDave What electronics are you running

Nothing right now. Just getting ready. Heard tonight though that where my wife works they laid off several people because their main customer is closing due to virus so no demand for product. Have plans to lay-off more. Think I’m gonna wait before ordering anything else. But I have a battery now......lol

Received my battery. Notice in top corner lithium iron phosphate.

Q - Where are LiFePO4 Batteries Made?
A - All lithium batteries and components are made overseas. You often find companies who advertised Made in the USA, but in reality, they are only assembled in the USA with 100% sourced products from overseas. We also built custom products in the USA but will never call them "Made in the USA". Out ISO9001 facilities will produce a safer, most efficient, and consistent product every time.

Dave .. what are the dimensions and weight of that battery ??

Superdave336. Get a battery monitor if you don’t already have one. Check this thread out and a short video in one of the postings. Battery Gauge.

Thanks, buddy .... sounds like just what one would need for a dedicated Livescope battery !! But ... does it need a special type of charger, or would a regular 12v 10a charger be okay ??
