what are you giong to do about the max charge rate?

HardcoreABN

someone I know has one and says it has internal circuitry to limit the charge to 10A. I have sent Battery Tender an email asking if it is true

i thought about replacing the battery with the 30 000 mah/400a booster i got for $80. i have to come up with an idea how to solve the charging problem. its powering the notebook when logging so far.

I ran this one http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...aerovoltz4.php in my '16 Z51 for about 6 months with no problems and then it went in the Birkin. You will have to fiddle something up with the terminals.
