I installed the same battery in my RV-10 as the AUX battery ILO Odyssey PC680. I removed it and reinstalled the original due to maxing out my PP 60A alternator after start up while recharging. Also the 14.2 vdc alt output is not high enough. It seems like a great battery, but if you deplete it too much before recharging, it can really absorb a lot of power fast. I have no way to control charging amps through a charge controller. It too saved me 12 lbs.
Going on 3yrs with my earthx in one of my bikes. I've never charged it, and it can sit a month sometimes before I ride because I have to many others. Swapped an off the shelf HD lithium unit in another bike and its been nothing but trouble.
Just an observation...........remember the reason we yell "Clear" is to alert people we are about to start the engine, and allow someone that might be close to step back away to safety..............so, give them sometime. Yell "Clear" then look around and give someone that you might not see, enough time to step back, then engage the starter. Just a suggestion.
Cool cool cool I had one in my rv3 junk in 2 years not impressed bad customer service the one in my bmw melted down at the 3 year mark $2500 in damages to the bike. Go Bioenno is a better battery at half the price. With 127 batteries that I maintain in my fleet I’m not impressed with earthcrapx batteries
Can confirm. I made the mistake of buying one. Expensive garbage that ate itself in half the warranty period, which EarthX then refused to honor. Also they use LiFePO4 cells that grenade if charged below 0C, which happens on any vehicle as soon as the engine starts and begins charging the battery. Have a look on their website at all the snowmobiles they're targetting. They make no mention of the fact that these batteries cannot be used in sub-zero conditions. Fraudulent and evil business. There are many reputable lithium battery manufacturers. EarthX is not one of them.
@@johnkluenker Thank you for your video and we are very happy you are a satisfied customer! Sorry about what the industry calls "trolls" who actively seek out companies and post negative comments, whether they are truthful or not. We are the most trusted and used lithium battery in the experimental aircraft market, with many aircraft manufacturers using our batteries such as Van's Aircraft, and we are the first in history to have a 12V certified lithium battery too. EarthX is dedicated to investing in the aircraft industry and we have years of research and development (time and money) to advance the use of new technology. Thanks again for your effort and time to make this video!
I love it when somebody promotes something they know nothing about, but, a free battery will do that...

What about the charge controller? Is that changed as well?
Nice!
