There's really no benefit to lithium batteries in a car. They perform much worse in the cold, and they are more expensive. You don't cycle your car battery 100-

There's really no benefit to lithium batteries in a car. They perform much worse in the cold, and they are more expensive. You don't cycle your car battery 100-0-100 so the fact that the useable capacity of lead batteries is lower doesn't matter.
- kragen 4y agoYeah, but the question is whether they are more expensive. If they were cheaper (per watt in this case, rather than per joule) people in Brazil and northern Argentina would probably use them to start their motorcycles. I think they're closer to that crossover than to the cost-per-joule crossover.
