Lithium-Ion Snowmobile Batteries

When performance and weight savings is everything, Lithium snowmobile batteries are the only choice. A lithium battery can weigh around 10 pounds less than a stock AGM or lead-acid battery. That is a significant reduction in weight, making it perfect for mountain and cross-country race sleds. These batteries are also much smaller in size. Another advantage of lithium snowmobile batteries is that they don’t require much maintenance in the offseason. You can almost just forget about them during summer storage.

One thing to note with lithiums is that they may not fire your sled immediately in the coldest of temps. The battery only needs to be warmed by drawing electrical current from it. Simply leave the key on for a few moments and that is usually enough for the battery to power the starter. The major con to these batteries is that they are one of the most expensive options on the market. AGM batteries are a more affordable option that provide all the power you need with zero maintenance, but do weigh quite a bit more.
