[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1461892, member: 19880"] You will find that most Lithium batteries do not have as high capacity (Ampere-hour) as the regular AGM lead chemistry batteries. (Some provide a so-called lead-acid equivalent Ah rating. BS, for the most part!) They MAY have higher cranking amps as long as ambient temperature is warm enough. Some don't work as well as AGM in the cold. Lithium batteries are lighter and are able to deliver lots of amps with less voltage drop and tend to maintain close to full voltage until mostly depleted whereas the AGM voltage sags under load when state of charge is low. Lithium batteries require chargers (and maintainers) that are specifically designed for Lithium chemistry batteries. Don't necessarily buy into the hype about vastly superior longevity - my 2011 FJR with 100,000+ miles is still running with the 12 year old OEM Yuasa... I'll be replacing it next year with a new AGM because reserve capacity isn't as good as I would prefer. [/QUOTE]
