I don't know anything about an ILTO variant. But I *do* know that a popular marketing gimmick is to sell Li "racing" batteries to replace lead-acid vehicle batteries that only advertise an EQUIVALENT capacity. The ones I've measured have only 1/10 to 1/4 the actual amphour capacity of the lead-acid battery they are supposed to replace. I'm guessing that they're assuming it has the same cranking amps, so it's "equivalent". They're also assuming it won't lose capacity as it ages, though that's an unproven claim. -- Excellence does not require perfection. -- Henry James But it *does* require attention to detail! -- Lee Hart -- Lee A.

why not build a lLTO Li-ion Titanate battery? 25,000 cycles, lots of them on Aliexpress and eBay Since it does not need heavy starting current, so a 50A BMS might be good enough. Anybody knows the AH of your lead batteries? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
