New Lithium battery on the market
I just found this...
LION ENERGY SAFARI 12V 100AH (1200WH)
LIFEPO4 DEEP CYCLE BATTERY
*Lifetime warranty
Curious to see what that means, but still, they have a good price point.
$799.00
Here is the linkResistance is Not Futile, It's Voltage Divided by Current.

You have Battle Born batteries don't you?
$800 sure beats $1000. Now that competition is out there, they'll have to start coming down on their price point.SOLD my 2017 Momentum 376TH being pulled by a 2014 Ford F-350 Lariat, FX-4, Crew Cab, Longbed, Dually. Not pulling the 5er, catch me on my 2013 CVO Harley Ultra Classic.

Something doesn’t add up. Battle born is 31lbs! This new battery is only 21lbs. Perhaps less cells meaning not a true 100 amp/hour usable? Or less of a BMS? Battleborn has a minimalist case and is 10lbs heavier, that means something internal.

BB's are 29 lbs each, these are 20.
But yes, the weight difference seems substantial.
The physical size is somewhat smaller on the Lion Energy batteries, this could account for the weight.
Maybe a thinner case as well, since the BB's list a higher operating temperature.
Still, 500ah of lithium (equal to 1000ah of lead acid) for 100 lbs of weight is pretty sweet.

I’m still curious if that is a 100 usable a/h from the Lion battery. Using the same lifpo4 technology something has to be missing when 1/3 lighter. It just doesn’t add up unless BB is using tons of heavy heat sinking inside that Lion does not.
Noting that Lion has “rated capacity” and BB “usable capacity”...Trailer: 2019 Solitude S-Class 3740BH
