Is anyone using the Scorpion Stinger LiFePO4 battery

I plan on doing the cable upgrade I just picked up a 3' piece. I've got the starter sitting in the garage ready for the swap. I need to get a new battery this ones 3 0r 4yrs old and I'm pretty sure its shot. I'll run a test on it before I spring for another one. I plan on getting an AGM battery The guy at Batterystuff.com recommended staying with the odyssey over the scorpion. I was hoping someone was going to tell me the battery i had bought worked great in cold temperature but that didn't happen so I sent it back. So tdragger whats better about the scorpion AGM?

In my experience, the Odyssey had a lot of umph up front but petered out rather quickly. I'd get about 6 turns out of it and it would be gone. The Scorp is the first one that has lasted for more than 2 winters. Again, it's not the battery that is the problem. The Odyssey will probably work well after the other mods. I can't speak to that as I had already replaced it with the Scorp. Let's hear back after you do the mods.

I did some checks on my battery and it seemed to still be good. So I made a ground cable and switched out the starter motor. When i got everything installed i hooked up the battery and hit the starter button. I could not believe how fast it turned over and started up. Then I went to hook up all the accessory wires and stripped out the positive battery post. So now I have another battery coming in the mail. I will be hooking up an aux fusebox or a couple of terminal strips to get all the crap off of the battery.

Like I said I was looking for input on the Scorpion lithium battery. I sent the battery back and will get another Odyssey.

You seem to actually know what you are talking about. Therefore, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask a question or two.
Firstly I plead ignorance...so it is stupid question day.
I own a Ranger 4-wheeler that needs a battery. Since I have purchased a 12V fuel transfer pump it seemed to me that the Scorpion Lithium battery would easily start my Ranger and run the transfer pump. The precise charging required for the Scorpion got my attention which is why I am asking whether this will work.
If it will work, then I'll buy the special charger and give it a go.
Since it appears that a there is better way to achieve my goal would you please recommend the appropriate battery to achieve my goal?
Thank you Sir,
DD
