[QUOTE="ionbeam, post: 1212198, member: 277"] There are a number of styles of lithium/iron batteries that perform quite differently because every LiFe battery manufacturer has their own special roll for output electrodes and cell connections. At one end, the round cell LiFe batteries are a glorified tool battery pack adapting existing cells to a motorsport battery pack and at the other end is Shori, a maturing product with purpose designed innards. Neither LiFe or PbSO4 batteries are perfect though the Shori is much closer to PbSO4 batteries with fewer drawbacks than the LiFe competitors and fewer liabilities than the PbSO4 batteries. Earlier Shori batteries did have some issues, that comes with being a bleeding edge innovator. As time has gone on Shori has done a good job of continually fixing issues and getting better. For dollar to performance the very mature lead acid battery is hard to beat. For a lotah dollah more, the lithium/iron batteries lose ~90% of the weight and offer a bit more cranking voltage at normal 3 season temperatures.
