I'm waiting on a quote for a 12volt 1000 amphour battery with the BMS (battery management system) which isolates the battery if overcharged (16 volts) and on over-discharge (11.2v) to protect the battery. It also has a display showing the State of Charge.
The physical size will be 22"x20.4"x14" which will fit if I remove the bottom slide tray in my compartment. This will leave me with the top slide tray for storage and the 2nd battery compartment empty. Total weight will be 400#. Quite a bit of savings. My Freedom 25 should charge the Lithium battery ok, if not then I will buy a separate charger for about $200.
Steve Magown has graciously agreed to let me install it at his shop in October.
Stay tuned!
