Another thumbs up for the X2. I have been running them for the past few years in all my vehicles. I really like them. They have zero issues, on the real cold (-20) mornings in MT starting up.I’ve been using a group 27 X2 Power battery with good results for the starter battery. The last one lasted about 5 years.
I hear there are new lithium iron phosphate batteries that are capable of starting and can draw 90% of total capacity without damage. Good for multiple days of running a refrigerator or lights. They deal with heat much better than Lithium Ion batteries and don’t have thermal run away issues.
I currently using a none starting LiFePO4 battery for the house battery and really like it’s capacity. They are more expensive than a gel lead acid battery, but are more versatile.
While you’re in there, consider adding a
Land Cruiser Products additional hold down to add strength and solid hold for your battery. I use the LCP battery bracket with the stock bracket.
LCP - Battery Bracket Upgrade
All Land Cruiser 80 series battery boxes tear with the factory hooks. When this happens the mount comes loose and can contact both terminals which causes sparks and creates a fire hazard. Who knows what Toyota was thinking when they designed the factory battery bracket for the Land Cruiser 80sites.google.com

The guy that sold me the batter told me to do it lol. AZ eats batteries.You sir, are why Costco battery warranties are no longer 42 months. Unless you're joking then I take it back.
Those multi-port battery connectors look pretty handy for a clean wiring setup. Where'd you get 'em?I’ve been using a group 27 X2 Power battery with good results for the starter battery. The last one lasted about 5 years.

No it won’t. That’s exactly what they are intended for. You can disconnect the battery like said above but then it will reset everything when you go to start it up. I have run a maintainer on my 80 for weeks at a time when I couldn’t drive it.I can. Will it damage the battery? I’m open to getting a battery maintainer. My neighbor hasn’t run a maintener longer than 7 days. So not sure if it will be detrimental to the battery health.
Thank you for this info. I’ll just get a costco 27F battery and a maintainer.No it won’t. That’s exactly what they are intended for.

Slee Offroad has them. We’ll made with tons of connection points.Those multi-port battery connectors look pretty handy for a clean wiring setup. Where'd you get 'em?
