The lithium is a favorite in my pc builds. One can learn alot about a battery and time with a pc....the car does the same darn thing, even with 60 months clean.
the lead ones are non-rohs compliant. I could guess the lithiums are where it is headed. |

You can still get 210CCA batteries in the L&G variety from Napa and most parts stores, but they're obviously smaller than most car batteries... except the Honda-Common group 51 and 51-R. They're about equivalent to L&G batteries in size, but usually up to 450CA/300CCA, IIRC. SLA's, that is.

Probably could have saved 10 lbs by cutting out the leather shoes, designer chains and credit cards from the Gucci wallet...

I'm totally in favor of weight savings, but how many amps can it make at -20°F?
