The Lithium Battery debate.

The new developed Lithium Powerbloc can be used in different applications.
Thanks to state-of-the-art of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) technology, the highly safe Lithium Powerbloc battery is ideally suited for use in powerful sports vehicles with 2- or 4-cylinder motors up to 1500 cc capacity.

Due to the high performance the Lithium POwerbloc will be fully charged within 45 minutes.

As a rule, 15 minutes is all you need to approach 90% of rated capacity using a 20 A charging current -just a fraction of up to the 14 hours which the usual type of lead batteries normally require.

In view of the absence of any memory effects with lithium batteries and regular, balanced discharging/charging of all cells, the Powerbloc models designed for a -30 to + 850C operating temperature range provide absolutely dependable starter services for up to 10 years. Particularly in micro and mild hybrids, the Powerblocs also ensure an excellent start/stop performance even in winter.

If not needed for a lengthy period, the extremely low self-discharge of a max. 1% to 2% per month also enables the Powerbloc batteries to be stored to the exclusion of any quality losses for a number of years at temperatures between -40 and +100 0C.

Stumbled on this yesterday.
Not Cheap but also rather honest regarding equivalent Lead Acid expectations.
May not be available outside the EU (in fact may be awkward outside Germany)
Lithium Powerbloc

EXCLUSIVELY A123Systems LiFePO4.



But maybe for those in colder climes.

The information sheet states operating temps down to -30C. I would sure love to test one of these units...
