google liteblox :-) Carbon bodied Li-ion goodness

M4T VW:
I think i also need to google balaclava and shotgun!  :grin:

The price of those is mental. You can get lots of lithium batteries for much much less in the UK. As mine is a strict track car it's going to get left for long periods unused so seeing as they only discharge 10% in 12 months they seem like the ideal thing.

Tfsi_Mike:

Isolating it helps massively. I fitted an isolating knob to my negative terminal and could leave it for months.

M4T VW:
I'm looking at something like this. It can be had for about £250.

Oh yes, It will be on an FIA cut-off switch when not in use so no problem there.

Is it really worth it though? I could get a small lead-acid battery for cheaper and use one of my trickle chargers that i have laying around. I need to check if they will work with the lithium...

M4T VW:
Are you still using your small Braille battery Mike? I'm trying to justify the cost of a lithium but it's just not adding up at the moment. I'm thinking of going for a smaller AGM Braille
