Should have a title like beware of the LiFePO and lithium ion battery<\/strong> in your late model luxury automobile!<\/p>\n

LiFePO Lithium Ion Battery.<\/h2>\n

Your newer modern high end luxury car has a weak point, called the lithium ion battery. Not in your electric car or not in your hybrid car only, in your conventional gas powered luxury automobile.<\/p>\n

In this case, the luxury car is a Lamborghini Urus<\/strong> 2018, which is exactly the same car as the Porsche Cayenne GTS<\/strong>.\u00a0 This type of battery
\nis also in the new BMW<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n

Most people are not aware the fact their late model BMW, Porsche<\/em> and other luxury\u00a0 cars equipped with a very expensive lithium ion battery.<\/p>\n

Yes it’s lighter, yes it’s more powerful,\u00a0 yes it’s very – very expensive and inconvenient when it doesn’t work anymore.<\/p>\n

Please let me explain: The fancy high tech battery has a thermal overload protection build in which is permanently sealed off to anyone. So if thing go wrong you will be on the hook for thousands of dollars in a hurry. No, you can’t convert it to traditional lead acid or AGM battery.<\/p>\n

We just had a very expensive encounter with a late model Lamborghini Urus. It had the fancy LiFePO battery and\u00a0 wouldn’t start due to a dead LiFePO\u00a0 battery. The exact translation would be lithium ion sulfate battery. It retails at $5800.00 the battery that is only. Yes you red it right, it cost five thousand eight hundred Canadian dollar.<\/p>\n

How this “marvel” of engineering does work and how could go bad in a 4 year old vehicle?<\/p>\n

The vehicle had over one hundred thousand kilometers, so it was way out of warranty. This fancy batteries will “brick” themselves. Say install or make it part of the cable to arrest any voltage spikes prior to the battery if you so worried about over-voltage. Therefore the internal relay can be sealed internally and\u00a0 never need to be triggered unless it is charged or treated incorrectly outside of the vehicle by untrained personnel, or by the vehicle owner perhaps.<\/p>\n

LiFePO Batteries Has An Internal Computer Built In<\/h2>\n

This batteries has an internal computer built in. It reports back to the vehicle energy management system. Therefore you can’t convert your vehicle to a conventional system, as it will not except anything else but a straight new replacement component.<\/p>\n
