    I know a Canadian who is thinking of going LI. and there is a way to do it. Even in very cold weather.. (You heat the batteries)
  • If you decide on 6v i would try to get them from Sams club before costco.
  • wolfe10,

    "best" is subjective. Because of where I live and the cold weather use, LI are useless for me.
  • We will need more information to be able to help:

    How many amp-hrs @12 VDC do you need?

    How much dry camping do you do where you will be discharging the batteries as opposed to going from CG to CG with shore power?

    Are you looking for a "price performer" or "best-- independent of price"?
  • Except Don...this notice was posted for the featured battery:

    "Currently unavailable.
    We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock."
  • Lithium may be fussy.

    If lead acid flooded are meeting your needs stay with them.

    There are some LI now that are between 4 and 5 hundred dollars. They are cheaper per cycle than flooded. Just don't do any cold weather camping.

  • Trojan are very good lead acid. If you want to save some money, any golf cart battery will work. Costco, Sam's, etc usually have the best prices.

    Of course, Lithium are the best, but $$$ !
