I've been running one in my Renegade for a few years now.
Just don't go undersize. It seams the rated CCA of the Lithium is not up for the same grunt as the CCA of the lead acid.
So I went a size bigger and it's been perfect for over a year now.

The original battery is 6.3kg the Lithium I am using is under 1.1kg.

well about 10 months on now with the lithium battery. 1st one lasted about a month and now the replacement one wont hold charge. no clue what the problem is except maybe the close proximity to the exhaust on the polaris outlaw I will try agm I guess
