Ionic Lithium 12V Group 31 3000 CA LiFePO4 Heavy Duty Battery

I did NOT install them yet...I was home for a whole week, and had to work on home repair issues all week. I was gonna reply because they will NOT upgrade to the newest software no matter how you force them. Not a problem, they did sync to the phone and I put them on a standard Shymacher 20A charger and charged each to 14.6, so a Freightliner 2020 and newer HO Alternator with the float system should have no problems

The reason why I didn't install them is because of buss bar issues. If I only do (2) batteries it gives me no mounting points for the others the way my wiring is set up. So I've set the batteries on the shelf at home for a couple weeks while I've been buying things like hydraulic crimpers, 4/0 battery cable by the foot and lugs.

I've spent a couple hundred on this website so I can get rid of my cabling issues

Gimme 3 weeks and I'll get all the parts to make sure it's gonna work.

Hell, they are so light I'm half tempted to throw them under the sleeper with me. Run is NC to Chicago to WV. Back in a week.

 

After buying these I started researching the company.. Ionic is linked to BattleBorn which is linked to Nasdaq DFLI, Dragonfly....

I'm not a pump and dump guy, but it might be an investing opportunity.

 

Them cables should work fine, they are not CCA (copper cladded aluminum) cables. Those won't work in a truck environment, too brittle for our needs.

 

Sitting here in Chicagoland ticked I didn't bring the Ioniocs with me just sitting in the cab. I could've just changed 'em out while I'm siting here waiting on the loads to get ready.

I've got so much time on these loads I could've done a temp install (even with jumper cables) and tested them out. Especially with the EPU running full tilt, could have got some real world numbers.

I bought these to replace my EPU AGM's...

Will Prowse has a YouTube video on tearing them down, including cutting them open. They look good and considerable savings.

Edit I'm still on the road, and will be for 2 more weeks. Had to chase the money. Nobody wanted to do the Chicago to Houston runs next week.
