Lithium is not a good choice for anything that has a CAN bus. The controller does all kinds of funny stuff such as communication issues and can fry electronics from lithium voltage spikes (when using winch or switching on off lights). It is definitely a no go for winching and other high draw electrical. Relying on the BMS can get you in trouble when the battery shuts off due to high drain items such as winches, lights etc.Battery experts, The H2 does not have an alternator let alone a smart one. So does the Li batteries BMS set the charge rate? Is there enough output from the stock setup? How will it charge in the freezing weather? Will it have to be inside during extreme cold? It does not look like there is much room to install a larger Odyssey like I did on my Canned Ham. Getting more power out of the same size package would be cool. But I have not had luck on Li as a starting/winching battery. Everything else they are pretty sweet.
Over marketing is the real blame here. Right tool for the right job.
