Does OPTIMA Batteries make a lithium car battery? Yes! OPTIMA now offers a QH6 ORANGETOP lithium car battery that you can buy factory-direct here. What size is this battery? As the QH6 name suggests, this ORANGETOP battery is a direct-fit upgrade for the H6 battery, also known as the Group 48 battery.
One of the most common questions we get is if this battery will work in "my car" or "my truck?" OPTIMA's new QH6 ORANGETOP lithium battery has a very robust and integrated Battery Management System (BMS) that allows it to work very well with just about every standard vehicle charging system out there. In other words, your vehicle's alternator shouldn't have any issue working with OPTIMA's ORANGETOP lithium battery.
However, should you need to charge the QH6 ORANGETOP lithium battery with a battery charger, we would suggest only using chargers that are specifically designed for lithium 12-volt batteries or have lithium-specific charger settings for those batteries. OPTIMA does offer a full line of 12-volt chargers and battery maintainers that work great with all 12-volt lithium and lead-acid batteries, both flooded and AGM.
While OPTIMA's QH6 ORANGETOP is new to our product lineup, OPTIMA is no stranger to lithium technology. We already offer ORANGETOP lithium batteries for marine and RV use as well as lithium powersports batteries for motorcycles, UTVs and personal watercraft. Additionally, OPTIMA is a part of Clarios, one of the largest battery manufacturers in the world and one of the largest suppliers of both lead-acid and lithium batteries to all the major automakers. In fact, Clarios has produced more than 1,000,000 12-volt lithium batteries.
Being both a battery brand AND a battery manufacturer gives OPTIMA access to resources and a knowledge base most battery brands simply do not have. Additionally, since OPTIMA is a brand favored by enthusiasts, we know our batteries will end up in the most grueling and abusive conditions possible. That's why we take OPTIMA lithium battery development a step further and test our products in the harshest environments we can find, including Trophy Trucks bombing across the desert in the Baja 1000, running trolling motors in Major League Fishing pro bass tournaments from sunrise to sunset for days on end and racing up a mountain in the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb.
We put OPTIMA Batteries to the test in harsh and abusive environments, where competitors have hundreds of thousands of dollars or more invested in the outcome, because we know everyone's time is valuable and no one wants to be stranded because of a battery, whether they are racing in the King of the Motos or just trying to get to work on time in the middle of winter.
When it comes to the Pike's Peak Interational Hill Climb, an entire year's worth of work is put into one shot at the mountain. There are no mulligans on the mountain. When your number is called and it's time for you to make your run, you have to be ready. After we thoroughly tested our QH6 ORANGETOPs in a variety of laboratory environments and field testing, we put them in race cars headed up the mountain, because we wanted them to be tested in the most demanding conditions. While the QH6 ORANGETOP may not guarantee a win or even a finish, neither of those is possible without a start. If you are ready for the Ultimate Power Source for your vehicle, order an OPTIMA QH6 ORANGETOP factory-direct today!
