    I really wish this can come to life sooner. Because i need a new battery pack for my Gen 3 and wish to use Lithium if there is a proper solution out there.

    You want the Sodium ion battery.

    I would also prefer Mudder's engineered lithium solution over any other new aftermarket pack when it is available.

    Otherwise I would go new oem (which is sometimes available at similar costs as aftermarket) or mix and match used for short term if necessary.

    Not yet... I'll release it eventually, but not anytime soon. For now you'll need to reverse engineer the data structure yourself. My color coding in that image is quite helpful as you begin your journey.

    Here's what 12 square inches of cross sectional airflow looks like from the pack bottom:

    LiBSU's pack has 40% more cross sectional airflow than OEM.
    In fact, the OEM air plenum's cross section is only 8 square inches, so that'll be the limiting airflow factor.
