Lithium Batteries
Need a new battery. I was thinking of a 12V Lithium battery. Not very familiar with them, will my AC/DC inverter 50amp with charging work or will I need a special charger for this type of battery? Any...

not the best idea for your rv, the majarority of thermal runnaway issues have been using the chemistry that they are. there is a reason tesla is starting to switch over to LiFePo4. cheeper to manufactuer plus there not subject to thermal runnaway nearly as bad. I know if two RV's that have burnt down from using tesla packs, and you still need a BMS if you want to treat it as a install and forget battery.

Um, that's what the LFP modules are; lithium iron phosphate, LiFePO4.

tesla and Leaf uses Ni-Co-Mn lithium batteries. and tesla uses lithium-nickel-cobalt-aluminum curently. you used to see people takeing a couple moduals out of wrecked ev's and building systems, but they are highly suceptable to thermal runaway if damaged. LFP are not very likly to have a thermal runaway event. I may have misread as it looked like you said they would have used the Leaf's instead .. so may have been a bit of confusion on my part. but the above is why we want to use LFP over tesla or other car modules.
