  Subject: Re: Lithium Battery Update
  
  End of test. As of May 2020 the Aerovoltz Lithium Iron Phosphate battery is
  no longer reliable. It still starts the engine but the voltage drops. That
  is six years of good service. There are a few things I learned that I did
  not do that could have made the battery last longer? First Lithium
  batteries like to have the voltage lowered to a storage level when not in
  use. Second every spring I checked the battery cell level and it was
  always close but I think I should have balance charged the battery cells to
  the top balance charge once a year.
  
  So I just ordered a new Aerovoltz Lithium Iron Phosphate battery. The new
  batteries are a bit lower priced and now have a built in battery management
  system. I also ordered the next larger battery. I had the 270CCA battery at
  1.6 lbs with out the battery management system and shortly will have the
  much heaver 330CCA battery at 2.6lbs with the battery management system.
  
  Again worth what you paid for it.
