I agree with Mick there about using lead acid, that's just a few
pounds for a bit of trouble. On the other hand if you're going to
play with Li on solar, you might as well start small in case
something cooks.
Keep us posted, I was wondering when one of us would try Li+.

In terms of practicality, a 10 amp hour (12 volt nominal) lead
battery only weighs about 9 pounds. If lithium technology could
reduce that weight by 2/3 you'll save 6 pounds but your client will
pay dearly for it, and you'll wind up with an exotic batch of gear
that's not easy to service or plug in replacement parts. Is it
worth it? Be sure & report back to the List so we can all learn...
