[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8863274, member: 689267"] Just to be sure, we are talking about adding a 2nd battery, not replacing the primary. Li-on do not fair well in extreme cold or heat as it would likely encounter in the engine compartment and should not be replacing the flooded (lead acid, non-agm) battery under the hood. An upgraded high capacity AGM under the hood may do the trick to, win/win if it is adequate. That said, you have what's called am ELD or Electronic Load Detector, usually integrated with firebox according to Honda. [B]The Electronic Load Detector (ELD)[/B] detects any electrical load on the engine from accessories like A/C controls, radiator fan, lights, heater motor, etc. The ECU uses the ELD's inputs to adjust alternator output and compensate for the additional electrical loads. The reason for this is that the charging voltage is often higher on Li-on. That said, I've often seen information on using liFePO4 batteries as a rule. I'm not an expert on the subject but you may want to find out if you have and LELD and if so, pose the question to the forum, there some real experts on the subject that are routinely active here.
