Tony King said, > "Lithium batteries make great starter batteries because they are capable of much higher discharge rates than lead acid batteries for a given amount of energy stored. This one of the factors that enables users to install a much lighter lithium battery than the lead acid equivalent - a 10AH lithium battery might have the same cranking performance as a 20AH lead acid battery."
Thanks for that excellent information Tony. I've known snatches of some of the points you make about these batteries. Lead acid in it's various permutations gives me good feelings whereas the lithium ones, no. I would have called it blind prejudice and not tried to justify my choices . . . that's really the only thing I could honestly do since I'm going on nothing but intuition and a few stories - not counting the ones that show up on TV. I really didn't and don't know enough about lithium technology to make any sense trying to discuss them intelligently. Ignorance doesn't contribute to making a good case, either for or against. Although I didn't know exactly quite why I've not been feeling good about lithiums, it seems clear my instincts continue to serve me well.
