These are not the troublesome Lithium Ion type. They are a newer version Lithium Iron. They have different cell voltage than Ion’s and are not so sensitive to how they are charged and discharged. A Lithium Ion will be ruined it completely discharged but the Li Fe battery will not. Great battery technology is on the way. I am going to try one.

Nevertheless, some new electric cars are using them. Maybe they are desperate. Be careful!

At only 2.5 lbs (compared to 25 lbs) and a reasonable $181 price these batteries appear to be a real breakthrough. Does anyone have any practical experience with the lithium batteries? Lorn H.
