Things to think about when your changing an OEM battery configuration.
1. The weight of the battery that your replacing, in the case of the XJOY7 the SLAB weight is about 20 pounds. A Li-ion replacement will weigh much less requiring a ballast weight to compensate for the slab.
2. Battery mounting needs to be considered, as well as:
3. How the unit will trim considering they are perfect out of the box.
Check out SCUBA GLOW.com they have a 20 AH upgrade kit which increases run time and comes with a smart charger. You may have to email them because they don't have any pictures posted yet.
