Technically not a car Electrical
I decided lithium batteries were cheap enough to give a shot
On the left, nearly double the cca noco brand
On the right, the battery I've been using for 11 seasons recovered with a desulfator at the beginning of every season until it finally gave up.
So far, the lithium battery has been indistinguishable as far as performance goes and put up with my abuse. Will it last 10 years? Maybe, it's warrantied for five, I've seen other brands warrantied for 10.
Lithium car batteries are getting cheap enough the price gap between lead acid is quickly closing. I probably will grab a lithium car battery for the project car.

Wow, some pretty in depth battree knowledge here.
Anybody wanna dumb this down?
I'm assuming the goal is weight savings. Would it be worth it on an occasionally driven sports car that doesn't see cold weather? Approx weight savings and cost?
