came highly recommended by several top racers due to their quality and balanced prismatic technology. Each Go Lithium battery housing contains four smaller balanced lithium cells. This ensures the cells charge and discharge equally. This not only gives you better performance, but makes the battery last longer, as well.

Go Lithium estimates the life of one of their batteries, if properly maintained, to up to 10 years of normal racing use. When you compare that to having to replace the batteries every 2 or 3 years, the extra cost of lithium is easier to digest. Although weight savings was our original reason for looking into lithium

2 & 3: Here is the really good part: each Go Lithium battery comes in at just 8 pounds,11oz on my el-cheepo digital scale. Most common full size batteries weigh around 40 pounds. The project car’s old battery was actually pretty light for a full size AGM style at 27 pounds, 10 oz. Still, a single full power Go Lithium battery is right at 19 pounds lighter. You would get even bigger weight savings coming from a traditional automotive battery. Using a pair of Go Lithium batteries cut our weight by 11 pounds, 4oz. But wait! There’s more!
