Well l wasn't exactly inundated with replies to this request. Thanks to Richard
for the related PM.
Feedback from Varley (DMS Technologies) is that the Li-16 will provide a better
solution as the Red Top 25 CA is 310A and CCA drops to 230A. The Li-5 (along
with similar low AHr capacity batteries has a CCA of effectively zero. Meaning
that ops in very cold conditions will be worse than l currently experience.
As the Li-16 has an [effective] CA of 670A this should overcome my kickback
issues
in colder months. It saves around 3.8kg and will need a lengthened battery
box as it measures 203 x 78 x 139 (compared RT 25 at 181 x 77 x 167).
Just need to start saving as it's RRP is 678 (yes, there are no decimal points
in that number).
