LiTime battery overheating issue?

DonF

We have a 2022 T@B 400 and I am planning on upgrading the original 6v AGM batteries to a 230 Ahr LiTime lithium battery.  The battery compartment is several inches longer, an inch wider, and 2" taller than the stated dimensions of the battery.  There are two small battery vents on one end of the compartment and the compartment is under the bed.  Has anyone had experience with this battery?  Do they produce an unsafe amount of heat when "normal" discharge and charge loads are applied?  I want to make sure the upgrade doesn't cause a fire hazard.

Thank you!

The vents you see in the 400 are for the original AGM batteries.  Lead acid batteries normally required vents.  Lithium batteries do produce a small amount of heat when charging/discharging, but under normal circumstances this is quite low.   The battery BMS has a number of protective functions, such as overcharging, over heating, low temp charging protection, etc.

I replaced my AGMs with the LiTime 230 ah battery in my 2021 400 this spring.   Fits perfectly and noticed no heat issues.  Very happy with it.
