Summarizing the above, unlike Lead Acid, or LiFePO4, Sodium Ion’s cell voltage drops too much over its discharge curve to be useful for direct...
Exactly my point. So the maximum charge voltage is 4.2v per cell. You cannot use 3 cells as that would give a maximum charge voltage of 12.6v,...
I understand that starter batteries are typically held at full charge, but I know on my 488 with lead acid the battery voltage varies between 12.1...
It would be interesting to see how a 12v Sodium-Ion battery performs as a vehicle starter battery as its discharge characteristics doesn’t really...
Sorry if I came across condescending, didn't know what your knowledge of Lithium batteries was. I agree with everything you wrote, including that...
I can’t comment on other insurance companies but I’m pretty sure my insurance company doesn’t have an EV charging exclusion, not that I would...
LiFePO4 batteries, the type that are being discussed in this thread, are the safest form of lithium batteries. They have a very stable chemistry...

Doubt that came from the repacked battery. As you said, most likely the temp sensor or just the fact that the car sat without a battery for a...
I can already assume the answer to that...........
If none of the battery electronics are changed, there is no way the vehicle can detect that the cells inside the battery have been changed. There...
Both questions answered, see post #14 above.
Any particular reason to change from Metrix to Ferrari Insurance? The only benefit I've seen is that you're covered for Ferrari sanctioned track...
As I wrote above, mine is with Dawes. There's no reason to think that Peters cars are with any other underwriter, but I would still check.
I dealt with Jon as well and he made me feel comfortable. That, and the ZAG recommendation sealed it.
Will contact them directly when it comes up for renewal. I was just happy at the time that it was half of Shannon’s quote.
Funnily enough, Dawes.
Absolutely agree! I figured that as Mextrix was recommended by ZAG, and this was before the Mextrix/Ferrari Australia thing, that they would be a...
They were recommended to me by ZAG, the Melbourne Authorisied Ferrari dealer that I bought my car from, so I guess they’d be half descent.
Give Metrix Insurance a call. They were half the price of Shannon’s for my 488, even though I’ve got all my other cars with them. They’re the...
