Lithium-ion Batteries?

Stumbled upon this while looking at battery tenders. No idea about the cost.

i think it's the same battery-type mentioned in the other page.
anong pahina nga ba yon?
anti-gravity brand of automotive lithium battery...

what about those small lithium-battery-car-starters-for-emergencies, instead?

For engines bigger than 2000cc, especially for a diesel, there is a technique for using it. Same as in using a jumper, it will only work IF your car battery still has some charge and can still receive a charge. So like when you use a jumper that you connect to the battery of another vehicle, you are NOT using the other vehicle's battery SOLELY to start your car, you first use it to charge your discharged battery. After revving the other car for a minute or two the "dead" battery would have taken enough charge and that plus the other car's charging system is enough to crank your engine. So when you use the Li-Ion battery you connect it, wait 1 minute for the charge to transfer to the dead battery then crank the car.

I've used mine 2x, once with success and the other failed. It was able to start a kia sorento 2.2 using the above technique. With a dead battery on a 3.2 ford everest di kinaya. Nag crank siya pero sobra mabagal.

is it safe to use the cigarette lighter as entry point?
or is clamping to the battery the safer way?

No idea, though i have seen those being sold. But di ba to use the cigarette lighter you need to turn the ignition ON. Di kaya mapunta lang yung charge sa iba (e.g., ecu, bcm, instrument panel, and anything you forget to turn off).

oo nga naman.
sayang yung kakaunting kuryenteng ibang pinuntahan.
it might just spell the difference between a successful expedition and a failed failure.

Cigarette lighter can be used maybe to charge the dead battery.. but not for cranking as the system turns off all accesories for full starting power.

Also cig lighter is rated only around 10A.. fuse might get busted

anyone here using Lithium-ion batteries?

I remember watching this video long time ago... then bigla ko lang naisip na is it really better?


2010 Suzuki Swift Part 3
Ramon Bautista



Messaged them on FB and its almost 2x the price of the regular batteries... sulit ba talaga?

I've looked into it before but changed my mind. On paper, they run circles around lead-acid batteries in terms of longevity and energy density. They're not as robust as lead-acid in terms of current delivery and tolerance to high temperature.

Besides, until they solve the issue of thermal runaways and spontaneously exploding, it's not going anywhere near my car.

As it is, a well-maintained lead-acid battery from a 'good' company lasts 4-5 years already. A Li-Ion pack would probably last 7-10 years, maybe more.... that is, if your car doesn't catch fire before then. ;)

I have a LiFePO4 battery installed on my 2017 Swift. Different brand from the one in the video. I've been running it since May of 2021 and it is still running strong. Car is my daily driver from Pasig to Laguna and is parked out in the open under the sun at my workplace.

LiFePO4 chemistry is different from the usual Lithium-ion battery. It is not as energy dense but is much safer than standard Lithium-ion. You can spike a LiFePO4 cell with an iron nail and it won't combust.
