    You shouldn’t replace a different type of battery with another. The vehicle will be set up with a different charging profile and you’d need to change that as well.

      And I’m not too certain what hardware is in cars but if its not setup to charge the li-ions just how they like, they tend to explode

        I’m guessing the batteries advertised as drop-in replacements have BMSs built in.

      Yeah, that’s a fantastic way to start a fire. Lithium really doesn’t like being treated like lead acid…

      I’ve been told there are addon charge controllers available for such situations. But as I said, it’s stupidly expensive.
