I have no idea but 1/2 an hour seems abnormally short time.
Yeah, the capacity of Li-ion batteries is much lower than lead acid batteries. As I never listen to music in the car this is not an issue for me. (When I get around to it I will remove the sound system). Horses for courses or lamas for lunch.

I actually added some weapon r products under the hood last weekend. They include: oil catch can, coolant reservoir tank, and the two pulley covers. They look cool, but the quality of the parts left a lot to be desired. If anyone is interested in my opinion on the pieces. Feel free to shoot me a PM.

To say I'm jealous would be an understatement. I applaud you for not putting the sticker on the car until it had earned it. :happy0180:
