Cotten was running a Lithium Pro brand battery. Not the XS Power brand.

I’ve had good results with Braille batteries.

for one, I did my research as well spoke to Heather Christian, Braile Motorsports. Two, they won't/can't ignite and three they are the brand most professional racers are using.

A LiFePO4 lithium battery is a good choice.It is more energy dense and unless abused, a very safe battery.

Who is going to be more straightforward about lithium battery brand rankings than the good people at Braille Motorsports?

I’m just a 12v guy myself, but just about everyone I pit with are using GoLithium. I’ve never heard of a single issue.
