Firefly is back in business but...

Firefly Oasis 12V Deep Cycle Battery | eBay

Holy crap batman!

At least you can buy them but at $0.29 wthr with a similar curve to a cheap lithium is it worth it?

It literally is the same price as lithium!

Looking at the charge discharge life information they perform very well on a lifespan basis and "should" be less hassle than lithium with a similar life.

I am hoping that they make it so they can get the price reduced and the 3d2 technology released but early adopters will pay a steep price for the name.

If they had an 8v 200ahr version for the same price I would probably bite just for the purpose of doing a real world test, but 110ahr 12v aren't much help in either of my EVs.

Cheers
Ryan
