My lithium battery pack is still working good after about 3 weeks of use.
My battery pack is in the back seat and has a forklift QD so I can pull it on cold nights. Usually when I bring it in I top it off with a lead acid battery charger set for "deep cycle".
On the 2 amp slow charge it never draws power for more than 10 minutes.

One cold morning when I left the battery in the car it didnt want to do an extended cranking cycle on my car to prime the carb bowls. I need to convert to an electric fuel pump so I dont have to use the starter motor to prime the carb.

I am also going to check for voltage drop on the new wiring to include the grounds.
