I have been testing 12V lithium car batteries on my car and I'm very happy with the results. For about 6 months I've been using it on my car. I used to have lead acid battery - DIN/JIS-80D26L I swapped it with 12V40Ah lithium battery. Lithium battery with the same size as lead acid battery (DIN/JIS-80D26L) but weighing only 6kg. When I started looking for these batteries, I was amazed by their prices! And especially living in Australia there is not much to choose from. Because of that I found a company that makes lithium batteries, that custom made me these batteries. My dad also uses 12V30Ah lithium battery instead of his old lead acid (DIN/JIS-55D23L) on his Toyota Camry 2004 2.4L Auto. Because he has on board hydrogen generator, lead acid battery had problems with keeping up energy, especially in traffic because of unmodified alternator. Once he started using lithium battery, this problem disappeared. Me and my dad making a little project where we are trying to achieve the same fuel consumption as on a new Camry hybrid, and this battery reduced fuel consumption by extra 2% on our old Camry. Hope I gave you some interested info. Here is a link to a youtube video of how lithium battery works on my car
