So much better than the rest of the competition?
I know only less than a handful on here use one but wondering what makes them so much better?
What would 2nd in line battery be?

I have been using a GoLithium for a little over a year now. So far no issues at all. Whatever one you get, make sure to charge it once a month as they do not like going low

Is yours the new updated version with the bigger lugs?
They also raised their price considerably.
Most say 1 Braille is still better than 2 Go Lithiums.
Maybe newer ones are better now.

We have run Go Lithiums for a few years. Never had an issue and use them in two cars. One is the older battery the other is the new one. We use a single Go Litium in each car as well. Both have plenty of compression. I have also use Lithium Pros in the Stratus.

I've been using the Snyder Motorsports battery(s) with very good results...

I Have the newer version with the larger lugs. I have holley ECU with coil on plug, elec water pump/fan, nitrous and fuel sol, magnaflow fuel pump. electric shifter. Data logger shows maybe 1-1.7 volt drop during a run. (no alternator, you can run an alternator with GoLithium)
Yes i only run one battery also. THe key i think is to make sure your wiring is "corrrect" i checked voltage drop at all my stuff and fixed some wiring , not only did i fix voltage drops but i actually re sized some wires and dropped some weight off the car. Benefit to lithium battery is you can mount in car and get rid of those long wires to the trunk area. But my car is a heads up car and i am concerned with weight and weight distribution, so its nice to be able to put the battery where i want it. Its going behind the front bumper now.

Do you think a Braille charger would work on a Go Lithium 16 volt battery?
I have 2 chargers and need another 16 volt Lithium battery. You can't go wrong with Go Lithiums price and the new generation battery with the bigger lugs looks enticing

I have two questions on the lithium batteries.
1. Are you running the 12v or the 16v?
2. If you run the 16v, do you use any kind of step down device for the rest of your electrical components?

I dont know if that would work. Call Go Lithium they are pretty good to talk to , and answered a lot of my questions

16V and no step down devices., Im NOT street driving this car. Except for my lights, i checked everything in my car and the manf all said it would work with 16V. So if you questioning a certain part, call or look on the manf website to see what it says about 16v compatability

Yes 16 volt step-down on my accumulator green solenoid valve and step-down on my Racepak O2 AF/4 Controllers. If you dont, you will fry the controllers and solenoid almost immediately.

Just in case anybody needs a step down. MSD brand new, still in the box $50. Summit gets $170 for there's.

I called and someone on tech didn't really know so he asked another guy and they said it won't work. Braille battery charging rate is higher than the Go Lithium.
Not sure if they are just trying to cover their butts and just want to seel the separate charger.
I would like to try one again at that price but I had no luck with the 1st run of them when they 1st came out.

There is a safer lithium battery in development right now. The trouble has always been dendrites growing from cathode to anode, shorting it out, and causing a fire, or explosion. There is a glass type material, that promises to block all contact, but still allow interpolation.

I have a braile in one car, and 2 go lithiums in another. Both have served me well, I just always have this nagging feeling about them.

Ever try and charge the go lithium with the braille charger?
I know my braille goes to 18.2 full charge.

18.2 is higher than GoLithium at 17.9

I think that's the problem. Maybe unless you cut it off before 18.0

Me too, I always disconnect the Anderson plug while car is unattended.


I personally would be very cautious in not using the correct charger, for peace of mine, I would get what ever the manufacturer recommends. I am aware of 2 people who had battery fires, both occurred while battery was charging. Due to this, I never charge the batter, if I am not around to oversee.

Were both those battery fires with chargers not designated for those batteries?

I don’t think so, probably not, but don’t know for sure,
