I actually just switched to lithium batteries, for the reasons everyone
mentioned below... better life, deeper cycling, WEIGHT. I got 200AH worth
of "12v" batteries on ebay for $1200, not name brand but as far as I'm
concerned it's all the same cells on the inside just like buying AGM's from

I got a bad feeling about Lithium batteries last summer listening to an
emergency Coast Guard call on VHF from a boat whose lithium batteries were on
fire and they could not put out the fire. I thought I read that current lithium
batteries are now designed to reduce that hazard. Dave

Right you are. Found a Victron video that describes some of the risks of
mixing higher efficiency batteries with older alternators and what can go
wrong.

So much to learn so little time.

Firefly Oasis carbon foam AGMs are a good compromise-they can be drawn down to
30% capacity without harm. There are many other advantages over more common
AGMs. I have four of them in a single bank—I’ve had them for 5 years now. I
would never go back to another type of battery!

Lithium have a different charge profile, so chargers and regulators need to
be adjusted or you will fry the lithiums.

I've been following a few RV channels on YouTube and learning about lithium
batteries? Some people are living "off-the-grid, living large with solar
panels and inverters. Just learned that lithium batteries are 40 pounds less
weight per battery and last three to five times as many years,
