Anyone using Lithium batteries? Comments?
Looking at upgrading to Battleborn Lithium batteries with charger/inverter for superior boondocking. Tired of running generator/engine to recharge the 2-Optima blue AGM batteries in use now. According...

Phil,
The charge rate hardly is an issue. Yes a single Li will recharge faster. But very few of us have only 100 amp-hours.
How many inverter/chargers can do more than 127 amps of charging? I don't know of any at all.
My plans are for 400 to 600 amp-hours of SiO2. 400 may draw 100 amps of charging, and 600 would be 150 amps. So a 400 amp-hour li bank would only charge about 20% faster than SiO2.
Thanks Don, that's about what I would have guessed.
Do you happen to know if SiO2 batteries are made up of a few (3 or 6) big cells like AGM and liquid acid batteries are?
I'm really not a fan of vehicle batteries made up of a whole bunch of little cells that have to be mounted and attached together in a bundle with a bunch of inter-connections -> that you have to trust will remain intact mile after mile, year after year.
