LiFePo4 Battery test?

[N77RX]

I just replaced my stock battery with an Interstate battery that has had amazing results. The stock number is YTX14HBS. It has 240 cold cranking amps which spins the engine quite fast even when hot. The dimensions are exactly the same as the battery that I replaced. It weighs 11.2 lbs with the acid in it. I was told the h in the stock number stands for heavy duty. It made a big difference. Mark.

Just checking but I think that's the Yuasa battery number? Regards Gary

My invoice had two numbers. The other was CYTX14H-BS. It had Interstate written all over the box and battery. Maybe the YTX14BS was a cross reference number. The Interstate website gives a good description. I flew last Friday and did a hot start and the prop spun fast. Mark N77RX

Hi Pete yes, the Shorai was flat plates and the Aerovoltz cylinders similar to the Aero Lithium, but was told the Aerovoltz are using non high rate cells. I have no verification of the high rate vs lower rate cells though. Below also is a chart and commentary from a website on Lithium Batterys ad the differences and Aerolithium says his are Lifepo4 Hope this helps Gary



Lithium iron phosphate cells have the best safety characteristics—long cycle life (up to 2000 cycles) and good availability. They are very suitable for high discharge rate occasions such as EV (including e-bike, electric scooter, and electric car), power tools, UPS and solar energy system.

COMPARISON DATA AMONG VARIOUS LITHIUM BASE BATTERIES:

Battery	LiFePO4	LiCoO2	LiMn2O4	Li(NiCo)O2
Safety	Safest	Not Stable	Acceptable	Not Stable
Environmental Concern	Most Enviro-friendly	Very Dangerous		Very Dangerous
Cycle Life	Best/ Excellent	Acceptable	Acceptable	Acceptable
Power/Weight Density	Acceptable	Good	Acceptable	Best
Long Term Cost	Most Economic/ Excellent	High	Acceptable	High
Temperature Range	Excellent (-20C to 70C)	Decay Beyond (-20C to 55C)	Decay Extremely Fast over 50 C	-20C to 55C

Well 50 hours and 2.5 months later the Aerolithium battery 430CCA going strong with no issues and excellent starts.
