That could be a bit above and beyond a typical greeter elsewhere in the country. His main job might be to keep the alligators and snakes from entering the store.

The snakes really like to frequent the rat traps for obvious reasons

@DGatzby How do you like the new battery?
So far, great. Unbelievable weight reduction, and it has another volt. I nearly can feel the lighter rear end!

Is that the one you have?
Yes but I paid 326 for mine. This is as cheap as a AGM battery and a whole lot lighter. I can run my after chiller for the first time with this battery.

Unless I can see it opened up and proved that there's an actual BMS circuit inside, I won't risk it.

'19 Hellcat Redeye
My stock battery has finally died at the 7 year mark. Ordered a Kepworth lithium battery (size 082-20) from Amazon https://a.co/d/5e8BXoX. Although Amazon stated 4 to 5 weeks for delivery, the battery arrived in 4 days.

When the delivery arrived, the box contained an Ingeosolly lithium battery instead. I sent a message to Kepworth and they replied within the hour. They confirmed it’s the same battery, but with a different branding. They also refunded $120 plus tax, because the price dropped 4 days after I placed the order. The battery is now listed at $359.

The new lithium battery is the exact size as the OEM battery, but weighs 20.4 pounds versus 44.4 pounds for the OEM. After the install, the car started quickly…definitely faster the stock. The voltage is between 13.8 to 13.9 at the start and then settles at 13.9 after ten minutes. The OEM usually settled at 14.1.

Long term performance is pending, but it has started well…pun intended. View attachment 143195 View attachment 143196 View attachment 143197
Ok so I'm jumping on the bandwagon and just ordered one of these, hope it arrives quickly like some of you experienced too! Two questions...so does this new one not have a vent tube? Also, what have the rest of you done with the old battery core? Thanks for any help.
