Wondering About Lithium?

Lithium batteries last 3–5× longer than lead, weigh 1/3 as much, and offer far more usable capacity. Our 12V 100Ah and 170Ah LiFePO4 drop-in replacements for Group 24/27 come with Bluetooth BMS for easy monitoring.

  • Built to last 10+ years
  • Bluetooth BMS (iPhone & Android) for monitoring
  • Much lighter — same charging system as lead (LiFePO4)
  • Charges significantly faster than lead
  • New, used/tested, off-the-shelf, and custom builds

Quick Comparison

AGM Lead Lithium
Lifespan 3–5 years 12–15 years
Weight Heavy 1/3 the weight
Usable Capacity ~50% ~95%
Upfront Cost Lower Higher
