I'm considering a LiFePO4 direct replacement option when the time comes

Anybody drop in one of these or something similar in their rig?

Doesn't look like they make one for a Gladiator according to their website. Not an option on the battery finder.

I'm not willing to spend that kind of money on a battery. The 94R AGM is around $190 at Sam's Club or Costco. Three years in, and I am still on the original batteries, in a hot environment.

I'd pass on that unless you are really trying to save weight for racing or something.

That chemistry doesn't like temperature extremes or the life dramatically drops. They also can't be charged below freezing or over 113°. Pretty sure the smart alternator wont like the required charging voltage, so it likely that it would not ever charge above 50%

What do you suppose the under hood temps reaches?

I'd also skip the Optima if it were me....... You lose too much reserve capacity in the space that the spiral cells waste in the footprint. Have a look at the Intimidator line from East Penn. The Oreilley and Napa stores in our area use them and rebrand them to their respective names. Seems Napa had a better warranty too. can't go wrong with the Odyssey either.

The Odyssey has a big following in the Power Wagon crowd.
