I and many other have and continue to use SLA batteries in our subs. In most cases the batteries are located in the free flooding section of the hull, rather than in the WTC. Now, with Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries becoming more readily available, although I still gag at the price, I wonder if they too can be used in the "wet" to power our subs. The cases appear to be similar, with vent holes, but do they have valves as well?
My reason for using them instead of SLA's is two fold. One, the weight is about half. Second, they store vastly more energy and my beast uses quite a lot of energy in it's drive motor.
So if anyone knows the answer to this, please enlighten me, not too quickly though, I need to save pennies to purchase a couple of these beauties.
Thanks
