Well yes you can! At work for standby equipment in isolated area's we use Braillie batteries. They make one in a group 65. It will set you back 2400.00 per battery. https://braillebattery.com/collectio...roducts/i65s-1
Wow, I'm all for overkill but that's steep. Maybe if I hit the lottery. What's the advantage of that? 24 year warranty??
Its funny how many folks never lift the hood until the truck doesn't start. We car so much about them yet they dont bother to even dust off the motor check belts and hoses.
This to me is sad. Ya I got a tune deleted my truck and now it wont start.
I clean my engine bay every other car wash. it's a good way to check for oil leaks, frayed belts and corrosion on the batteries. Do Not forget to lift the little red rubber thing. it's usually the positive post that leaks. Then if you see corrosion replace the battery. Don't just get one of those felt rings to put on there.

So powerful you just need one?
Just wondering. I'm a smart @$$.
We use them for equipment that is impractical to feed with a battery charger, these units are on on gen sets that have satellite based controls and contactor switches. Supposedly they are rated for 5000 cycles of being 90% discharged. They have only been around about 4 years so time will tell.

That makes sense. It's a specialty battery made for that application. Thanks for sharing.

Interestingly, I did notice that there are quite a few different charging profiles that can be selected in the plain English version of FORScan. I can’t remember if there was a LiIon setting though...
Ford should be ashamed of those battery cables. Open ends and no heat shrink tubing. Moisture can get into that cable, and so can the battery acid.
I have 560 Ah of LiFePO4 batteries in my RV trailer. The on-board Onan 5500w generator calls for more cold cranking amps than the BMS (Battery Management System) can provide. I'm not taking any chances with that system so I still have a car battery on the tongue to start the generator. There are a lot of concerns with using LiFePO4 as a starting battery. As I just said, the CCA required by the engine is usually much higher than the battery can supply. The two other (most important) limiting factors are the charge profile (mentioned above already) and the inability to charge below 32° F. I believe the anodes crystallize when charging takes place below freezing temperatures. I put a battery warming system on my LiFePO4 batteries to ensure that they stay "warm enough" to be charged.

I agree. I put that NOCO oil based corrosion prevention stuff on the exposed cables for protection. Good stuff...
