    Is it ok to run lithium batteries with an older motor like mine?

    I doubt that anyone knows for sure.

    My guess is that there won't be a problem.

    Must have been an undersized AGM.... The proper size AGM would do just fine if it was good, and charged..... Unless it was an Exide...

    Thanks Mike, I made sure it had enough cca's to crank it, was an optima. I just want to get away from wet cell batteries, even tho' the napa has been good for a few years now.
