FAQs
What is Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) technology?
LiFePO4 is a type of lithium-ion battery chemistry known for its stability, safety, and long cycle life. It is considered one of the safest lithium-ion technologies available.
How much lighter is this battery compared to a lead-acid battery?
While exact weight savings vary depending on the specific lead-acid battery being replaced, lithium-ion starter batteries typically offer weight reductions of 50-70%, often saving several kilograms.
Can I use my existing lead-acid battery charger?
It is strongly recommended to use a charger specifically designed for lithium (LiFePO4) batteries. Lead-acid chargers may not provide the correct charging profile and could potentially damage the battery or not charge it effectively.
Is this battery suitable for daily driving vehicles?
Yes, it can be used in daily driving vehicles, but it's essential to ensure your vehicle's charging system is compatible with lithium-ion batteries. Some older vehicles might require modifications.
What does MSA approved mean?
MSA approval signifies that the battery meets the safety and performance standards set by Motorsport South Africa, making it suitable for use in regulated racing and motorsport events.
What is the warranty period?
The Super B Andrena 12V7.5AH battery comes with a 3-year warranty.
How do I maintain the battery during long periods of inactivity?
For extended storage, it's best to keep the battery at a moderate state of charge (around 50-80%) and avoid complete discharge. Using a compatible lithium battery conditioner is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Battery not charging
Verify that the charger is specifically designed for lithium (LiFePO4) batteries and that it is functioning correctly. Check the connections between the charger and battery terminals for security and cleanliness.
Engine crank is weak or slow
Ensure battery terminals are clean and tight. Check the voltage of the battery; if low, it may need charging. Confirm that the vehicle's charging system is operating correctly and charging the battery at the appropriate voltage.
Battery not holding a charge
This could indicate an internal issue with the battery or a parasitic drain in the vehicle's electrical system. Consult a professional to test for electrical drains and assess the battery's health. If within warranty, contact the manufacturer.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Substantial weight reduction for improved vehicle dynamics.
- Higher power output for consistent engine starting.
- Longer lifespan leads to fewer replacements over time.
- Safer lithium-ion technology (LiFePO4).
- MSA approval for competitive motorsport use.
Cons
- May require specific charging equipment designed for lithium batteries.
- Higher initial cost compared to lead-acid batteries.
- Not directly compatible with all charging systems designed for lead-acid batteries.
- Performance might be affected by extreme cold temperatures if not managed.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your vehicle's charging system is compatible with lithium-ion batteries. Some older charging systems may need adjustment or replacement. Connect the positive and negative terminals securely. If replacing a lead-acid battery, verify the physical dimensions and terminal placement.
Compatibility: This 12V battery is designed as a replacement for standard 12V lead-acid starter batteries. It is MSA approved for motorsport, indicating compatibility with regulated racing environments. Always check your vehicle's specific requirements and consult with a professional if unsure.
Care: Avoid deep discharge cycles where possible, though LiFePO4 technology is more tolerant than other lithium chemistries. Use a compatible lithium battery charger. Protect the battery from extreme temperatures (both hot and cold) and physical damage. Keep terminals clean and free from corrosion.
