Lithium ion battery for the Hellcat

[DGatzby]

I just ordered one. I’ll let you guys know how long it takes. Again it said not to be delivered until October. It’s going to get a bit lighter in the rear.

@Taxinator Thanks for the heads up on the battery.

You’re welcome and I hope the quality holds up long term.

Yep, thanks @Taxinator from me also. I would have just allowed my present one to rot this winter.

You guys tell me now, how and when to charge this lithium deal during the winter without igniting my house on fire.

Easy, get one of these and use Lithium mode.

You go ask a neighbor living a few blocks away, one that you don't particularly like, and ask if it's okay with him that you store this little box in his garage.

Use an Amazon box to put the battery in, say that it's a surprise gift for your wife, then plug in the charger when he looks away and hope for the best.

In yer case...a neighbor is 17.6 miles away

I wish. The closest one is just over a 1/4-mile away.

Thankfully his house is hidden by the trees so I don't see it, but the next neighbor (a cute girl across the road) is visible from here. Feels crowded, I tell you.

I have none to the left..none behind me..(just acres of woods)..got some across the street (that I never see)..and a widow to the right that I never see..that has a summer home on the lake that she will make a permanent residence next year..@ which time I will buy her house...I'm a great neighbor..just not a friendly one..(but I will plow your driveway in winter for free...) if you don't bother me all summer

Delivered today. Great timing. I’ll install when I get home this afternoon.

I keep hearing that there are problems with the cold in winter. If you don't drive the car often, the battery apparently discharges very quickly. Can anyone confirm this?

My Chally is from 2017. I rarely ride it and I'm slowly getting the feeling that I'll need a replacement soon.

If you don't drive the car much you may need to put a trickle charger on. In the winter I pull mine from the car. After a few months it will drop from 13.3 to 13.0 so not much. If left in the car it will discharge in a couple of weeks for sure between draw and cold.

Is it October there already

 

[DGatzby]

Well the old one was sick. She was only giving 12.2v. New one has about 13.25v. Going to go start it and listen for the difference. Was kinda bitch getting my hands down and getting the bracket screw etc. Ha, not as bad as that PIA brace last weekend @vortecd.

Feels like it went on one hell of a diet. What a difference!! Had to almost think and breathe to lift that dinosaur out.

@DGatzby How do you like the new battery?
