new generation of batteries
wow, many skeptics here. ill be the guinea pig. alot of the lotus and bmw guys are using them.
from the site
"Voltphreaks 12 Volt car battery. This is the high capacity/high power version, and is compatible with all passenger cars and trucks. Almost double the Ah rating of the standard Voltphreaks VPHR12 battery. Replace your 12 volt lead-acid starter battery with this one and save 30 to 40 pounds! Current state of the art in battery technology (safe nano-phosphate lithium).
Standard lead-acids last 3 to 5 years before needing replacement. Lithium nano-tech batteries will last 5 to 10 years. Besides saving weight, you will have less voltage drop under load, for stronger cranks. Plus it's less affected by cold weather than a lead-acid battery. In testing, we've cold cranked a BMW M3 30+ times without any issues, then left the headlights on and radio blaring for an hour, and then cranked again, and the car cranked same as before. We could have kept going but didn't want to wear out the starter.
This battery does not have the thermal runaway issues of standard lithium batteries, and is much safer. It's safer than the lead-acid battery currently in your car, and better for the environment. "

thats pretty good. Do you have any aftermarket electronics in the car?
My Odyssey battery will only last about 3 days without using the car. I'm getting tired of it. I think Im gonna get a real battery next time
