Have a look at firefly batteries.   If you have the room these would be a great alternative to lithium.

My battery charger does have a lithium setting, so that part is covered.

What I don’t have is the DC-DC charger I’ll need to charge lithium from the engine bank.

Why not just get a solar panel and some AGM batteries? Lithium requires new charger, AGM profile for charging is often available on legacy chargers.

To add to my fun it was about sunset and my batteries are about shot. I had 16 miles to go and didn’t want run on battery power, so digging through my spare belts it turns out they were all too short ☹ I had to swap alternators back to the one that uses the shorter belts, so a 10 minute job became quite a bit longer.

I think I need to quit researching lithium batteries for the 25^th time and just pick one!
