It’s official! In 2025, Charlie Brown is moving into the LDR class — but to get there, we’ve got to shave off another 100 pounds from the car. After four rounds of cutting weight over the years, there’s not much left we can chop out… so we’re getting creative! 💡
In this update, we reveal one of our biggest weight-saving upgrades: a new lithium battery from P. Motive. This battery is crazy light and powerful enough to crank over our big block without breaking a sweat. But don’t just take our word for it — we put it to the test! 🔧
Watch as we compare:
⚡️ Our homemade lithium battery (used for the past 4 years)
⚡️ The P. Motive Full Spectrum Lithium Battery
⚡️ The old-school XS AGM battery
The results blew us away. 🤯 Not only will this upgrade save us weight with the battery itself, but by moving it to the front of the car, we’re cutting even more weight by eliminating those long, heavy cables running to the rear. 💪
It’s these small changes that make the biggest difference. We’re on a mission to hit that new goal weight and get Charlie ready to make waves in the LDR class. Let’s get it done! ✅

I'll wager based on the gauge of wire you should be using the length vs loss should be negligible if even noticeable. I was getting 14.1v in the trunk on the end of 30ft of 4ga. You should potentially be in a 0ga as a mainline with a 16v system. I will have to upgrade my mess when it goes back together as 4ga just isn't gonna do what I'll need.
