Default Installed my Braille Carbon Fiber Lithium Battery

Stock lead acid battery is a heavvvvy. 52lbs. I went with a slightly heavier than normal Braille Lithium to get the 50 Ah rating. It weighs 18lbs. Before I reprogrammed the DME for Lithium (Actually not necessary according to Braille) I monitored the factory charging for 2 days. It rested at 13.2V as it should. If I hit it with an engine off load (Lights on, blower on, etc) it would charge at 14.4V when started and slope back down to 13.7V Nice thing is the Braille is a direct bolt in using all factory mounting points and hardware.

After programming the DME for Lithium and 50Ah. The highest I've seen is 14.0 and it generally flatlines at 13.8V under load or no load engine on. So the reprogram does make a slight change.

Ok details please. First, what did it run you total? Second, how did you reprogram the DME? Third, can you make a quick DIY?

Can it be used by a sighted person?

You could get sambydesign to get you a price. Mine isn’t typical.

I used my Autel to set the battery info in the DME.
