And all this is why I have LiFePo4 batteries in everything I own now. Never again a lead/acid device. Too heavy and too prone to issues from sitting (like sulfation) unused. They do require a different charger, but even that is a million times easier and it tells you the health of the battery as it charges. The only downside is initial purchase price at ~$600 each. But they last at least 10 years and they will never leak acid or corrode your terminal connections. Super bonus - your 44 pound lead/acid battery is replaced with a 12 pound lithium battery. I'll never go back! And for the record, I have 24 Ah units in both the IS F and GS F, and an even smaller and lighter one in the Supra. Supra battery:



I ran this battery in my IS F for about a year before putting it in the Supra. It worked perfectly.

The Noco Genius will charge LiFePo4 as well.
Definitely the battery I’ll use when it’s time to replace the OEM battery.

just over three weeks of ownership, this is what happens when you are mates with a TOM's racing official distributor who's only 15 min from where you live..

TOMS V2 kit (1:1 in Australia so far), TOMS SS axle/brace/filter/carbon wheel, Novel Ducts, LEMS intake etc.

Just the beginning!

I guess it's implied in your post, but just to confirm - the car's charging system and the LiFePO4 battery play nice together?

I've had Antigravity LiFePo4 batteries in my F cars and my Supra since 03/03/2020. Zero issues except the starter on the IS F failed when I installed the battery. Starter was due for replacement anyway.

I bought it off someone who was parting out their car. Don’t know where they got it from.
