-
Any Maintenance req's?A - For a LithiumMoto LiBatt, no... other lithium batteries suggest their battery voltage must be maintained above 13.28V at all times or else damage will occur. So, they recommend to never leave their battery while it is charging.
-
What is difference in Ah rating between lead and lithium?A - Lead can only use a third of its capacity, Lithium can use 80%. Weaker batteries need to be bigger.

Will a Lithium Moto Lithium Battery work at zero degrees?A - Yes, It will just take an extra crank or two.
-
What does PCA and CCA really mean in regards to a Lithium Battery?P stands for peak discharge as in a current spike when starter 1st engaged for 1/1000 of a second.. basically a short circuit figure and not to be confused with any kind of actual cranking power. CCA applies to lead batteries only, discharging for 30 seconds at 0 degrees which no starter does.
-
Do I need to be concerned about the alternator amps in relation to my new cute little lithium battery?A - No, Lithium Motos beefy BMS will block any over voltage / current . Other smaller BMS's though need ' crowbar ' external regulator protection.
