If they are not the same size, then its so close that its not noticable. Mine fit right in, I didnt notice any difference in size when I compared them side by side.
Hmmmm I wonder how effective a lithium ball would work in my muzzle loader? Lol just joking, but sounds like they are slowly phasing lead out of everything.
Lithium is a very light atom compared to lead. It would likely catch fire going down the barrel as well, and have almost no terminal energy on impact. Combined with black powder, you would have one hell of a "smoke stick" as the Indians called them.
Lead hunting ammunition is already outlawed here in CA. Solid Copper bullets for large game and varmints, bismuth or steel shot for waterfowl and upland game. I'm not even sure dove loads are still allowed to be made of lead. I go to Yuma for dove season so have not shot doves in CA in many, many years.
Not sure what they've done about .22 LR rounds since the bullet design is different than any centerfire rounds. Perhaps still exempt from lead bans.

I know mine fit with no mods to anything, even the battery hold strap fit perfect. Im sure they fit them in the cases that have the same dimensions. At least for 07 and up, dont know what the earlier models used.
Good points by you. I will just go on a diet and save the 8lbs.
wife would like that too

Just saw an article about a parked Tesla that spontaneously combusted. Thankfully it wasn't parked in the homeowners garage.
I run LiPos in RC helicopters which is of a different make up to what is being used inside the battery being discussed. The hard cased LiFePO4 cells are way more stable than the soft cased LiPos you show in your picture.
never heard of warming up the battery. will look into that
The cells have an internal resistance that goes up as they get cold, a negative coefficient of temperature. So by warming them up before using them lowers the batteries internal resistance making it work better.
