Default Re: will a 16v TurboStart charger work with a Lithium 16v?

I use a Go Lithium 16 V battery and their charger. Have been happy with both. I have been using lithium for about 10 years. The new style Go Lithium has been really good. Charges real fast between runs.
I do carry my regular 16v charger just in case i ever need to boost it. I don?t use the lithium batter between round to cool the car down. I have a separate battery for that at the trailer.

Not likely, all lithium battery manufacturers require battery specific chargers sold by them.

That said, the best lithium battery currently for motorsports is built by Braille. Speak to Heather Christian at Braille for questions 941-539-4553

the only reason to swap to a lithium battery is the weight savings which is 40 lbs. when swapping from a XS Power D1600.

We made the swap last year in our dragster
