Most important is to make sure that the battery you buy is a 20AH one. Most manufacturers will also make a 16 AH battery that is dimensionally identical and it tends to get bought and installed instead of the 20AH option because it's cheaper.

It's a false economy.

I am running a Shorai lithium battery.  Never again.
Refuses to crank at temperatures below 60 when first start of the day when cooler. 
once it warms up, it fine.
If I put a 2amp charger on it for a time, depends on what the temp is outside, it will crank fine.

I suspect because it doesn't show enough voltage until the battery is warmed up.
I will be going back to sealed AGM when I have enough of the lithium.  has plenty of power when up to voltage, but its a pain when it gets below 60.

I have an AGM I bought from batterymart.com.  Seems fine.  I'm on my 3rd or 4th year (can't remember) and no problems.  It is only rated 18Ah however

Hi,

 Are you keeping the battery on a tender when not in use and if so how often?

Thanks
