Hiya, just came across this thread and wanted to clarify that what you are referring to here is a motorcycle battery and not suitable for automobiles at all. Here is the info from the product pages of this unit. Max charge rate 10A.

Lithiumax batteries on the other hand are designed for automobiles and have considerably higher Ah capacity and sophisticated BMS systems for that purpose. We also have a motorcycle/Powersports battery that has enough punch to start high compression V8s but there is no way we would recommend that for anything other than a small Formula, open wheel race car, for ultimate light weight, as weighs only 800g (2lbs).
Lithiumax are opening in the US next month so we will be able to ship by road to 48 States and Canada from December/January.

I never made reference to any motorcycle battery, or, any brand at all (other people might have). Nice advertisement for your brand though... are you a forum vendor? There are cheap lithium batteries rated for deep cycles which are already currently available. Your website does look promising though for decently priced higher cca li batteries.
The main reason why many of these Li batteries are only rated for powersports is because of the electronics and parasitic draw of a modern motor vehicle requires a high AH rated battery. Run your radio with the car off with a small Li battery and the battery will be drained in 10 minutes. I am sure there are other reasons, like safety and regulations, too, but, cranking a motorcycle is no different than cranking a car. Charging systems vary too but any battery I would look at has an on-board management system. Pretty much all of them do now.

Over 3 years om and still going strong, going to transfer this battery to my n54 powered 120i hatch and get the new Restart 11 for the 1m
as I need a deepcycle/restart battery for all the new electronics I fitting and need Bluetooth monitoring.
Every car I own is fitted with one of these batteries and which they have never let me down.
