LTO BATTERY group 24 by XS Power

[veiloctane]

Is an LTO a good replacement for a Deep-cycle battery?

price is almost the same between them wondering if its really an upgrade if I switch.

I currently have Northstar Group 24 Deep Cycle

A 6 amp hour battery? That's basically nothing.

Could build my own too for nearly the same price

Oh yeah, an LTO update! So they worked great for you all winter? No charging or starting or other weird problems--same as normal lead acid in terms of performance?

A 57# 6aH battery?
Gotta be a typo. 76aH stated separately.

edit:and yes, it seems like an option for deep-cycle purposes. I use AGM's for the same purpose. So far so good.

yeah, my RC car batteries are 6.4Ah and they are basically the size of a deck of cards

so apparently LTO and AGM have different discharge rates so just the Ah rating alone is not enough to justify which battery is better I guess it all comes down to purpose

probably a typo on the website I also looked at the other LTO batteries in their XV line and they all show 6Ah.... I would assume the bigger the battery the more AH.

I sent them an email to verify

ok so to my understanding and yes they are rated differently.

AGM has only about 45-50% useable power
LTO has about 90-100% useable power

they do list the LTO as Ah to Lead Acid cell equivalents as
Ah Pb Eq 20

I found more helpful info in this thread. I could still build my own for a much cheaper

LTO Starter Battery

Hello! the following question reached me. Hey Julez, I was wondering about your BMS choices for the LTO battery. I was actually considering a 6S build with no BMS. It looks like you are using multiple technologies to balance cells. Can you point me to a blog post that explains the differences...
