Ah, I first read it as just a salvage place, and thought it would be generic batteries. Now I see it's a *cycle* salvage, so they should have the new, lead-acid compatible ones.

They said that if the get a lithium that is a year old or less it's $85-100.00 depending on size. A new lith. for my wing is about $235.00 minimum...


I don't trust lithium ion batteries. Period.

The newest form of lithium batteries aren't supposed to have the issue of overheating and catching on fire that the first ones had.

"I've heard old stories about lithium catching on fire ??
- Not these type. These are new LiFePO4 type, iron phosphate. No chance of that happening. Very safe, much safer than carrying around a bunch of highly flammable gasoline !"
