I don't care about them being much lighter weight in the standard group sizes as compared to good old lead acid batteries - that's not important.
I disagree.
Weight is a huge issue with batteries and trailers. A great many folks simply don't have the weight capacity to add a good bank of lead-acid batteries. And the battery weight is almost always mostly increased tongue weight.
Modern Lithium batteries would mean that rather than two 12-volt batteries - I could have the equivalent of four 12-volt hours - more than double the usable amp/hours - and still end up with lighter weight.
(I, and many trailer owners, have the physical space to have four 6V or 12V batteries - just not the weight capacity.)
