    I lost a friend due to lithium batteries in the cargo hold of an airplane, and the company lost a 747. Remember the issues with the 787's and their batteries? Lithium. It takes a lot of water to cool them down before they stop burning or you just have to let them burn themselves out. Personally, I think I'll stay with AGM, Odyssey replacements rather than lithium batteries.

    This is an R/C car incident. Those of us who now own drones are very familiar with the WARNING that is provided when charging up our batteries. I have not yet seen a incident involving lithium batteries in a UTV. I have one, but have yet to install it in my UTV. Maybe I can be a test dummy? :-)

    This is why you wouldn't use LiPo batteries in a mobile application....They are just to unstable. I have seen charging/storage bags available and the thought crossed my mind to pick a couple up for my RC stuff.

    There are plenty of other options like LiFePO4 (Shorai/Phantom) that are extremely stable. I'm looking at building one for the RV to cut 500lb weight out.

    Do you mount it in its original location, or are you going to mount it under the front hood?

    I plan to put it in the original location since it is the same size.
