Tech review - Lead vs Lithium Batteries

I bought a new Camry for my daughter years ago. About three months into it, she calls and had a flat tire. When I got there, I couldn't believe how rough the tires were. They didn't have 15,000 miles on them. I started going through the box looking for the warranty information, and to my surprise .... they were 12 month / 12,000 tires. I didn't even know they made those any more!

 

LOL

 

Guys I am in the UK my 458 has a Bosch Battery 18 months old always on a tender and driven every week, I am suddenly getting 4/5 "go to dealer" warnings on start up! The battery had 12.8v in at startup? (checked on a volt meter) The lights all go out within seconds and don't come on the rest of the day!

Everyone seems to be telling me to get a AG or other make lithium battery, saying this will cure it ?

 

Upgrade to an Anti-Gravity. You won't regret it. Get the battery monitor too.

 

Antigravity definitely earned its value last week. Had the car parked, and left something on inside the car. It was dead when I got back to the car. One click of the remote, and I was well on my way. The funny thing is I was literally about to remove the remote from my key ring just days before as I was thinking I could always call someone to grab it from my house should i need it! Thank goodness I didn't.

 

And remember, while the key fob is more convenient there is also the button on the top of the battery that you can press to get a "boost" to start the car.

 

Ah right!

 

anyone using the 40amps AG? you think it could cause problems?

 

I got the 40amp AG for my 458 and it works fine. Should have plenty enough CCA.

 

Will the glove box open if she is dead?
