What are you replacing? Sort of depends on what your E6 is currently set up for. ---

I replaced 8x6volt AGMs with 2x51.2volt 100 ah lithium in parallel and have had no issues. The delta Q profile for the AGMs is 28 and seems to work out great for the lithiums. The car BMS expects a 60 something mile range while the batteries expect to go about 80 miles. The SOC between the car and the actual batteries are close but not exact. I don’t typically go more than 50 miles on a charge so it’s not a problem for me. It was a simple drop in and plug and play for my 2016 E4 for under $3k. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/electricforum/original/3X/a/d/adc833f2eb854d1cff1af1e7496e02c46cf95493.jpeg) ---
