It was on learning that piece of information that got me to thinking that LiFePo should be up to the job.
The large 1 litre motorcycles are using LiFePo batteries these days and they are often only 10 Ah.
Also the LiFePo battery - linked in first post - is okay up to 80 deg C under hood temperature which for a country that never gets above 25 deg C at the height of summer should be no problem.
I am happy to charge the battery the odd time from the mains.
A change to this 40 Ah LiFePo battery would save 17 lbs in weight.
