The XS battery arrived today.
The instructions are NOT included, like so many companies nowadays, they tell you to contact their website to download it.
It did not come fully charged but that is stated in their instructions. It is supposed to NOT be allowed to run below 10.0 volts because at that point, bringing it back to life is somewhere between difficult and impossible. They advise to charge it before putting it into service. No explanation why when it is supposed to be compatible with automotive alternator charging. I did order a specific charger for it but it is delayed.
Last year when I had this car in my shop:
His lithium battery charge went down as I had a 12V drop light attached to it. I charged it with a standard lead-acid battery charger and it has held up fine. I'm in no hurry here. I'll wait to get the approved one. I need to get those top post terminals to attach the cables anyway.
