| Subject: | Re: Lithium Battery Update |
I=99m in full agreement with you Rick. I=99ve been running a Aer
ovoltz 270cca in my Firestar for the pass two years. I do use there balance s
tart charger and balance it once a year.
I bought larger 330 cca Aerovoltz for my Hummel Ultracruiser that I=99
m currently building. It runs a 45 hp 1/2 VW. I guess with the built in mana
gement, I don=99t need this special charger. The new battery doesn
=99t have the built in plug input like the 270cca battery.
