Another Lithium Ion batteries question
Could these batteries which are for ELectric vehicles be also used in an RV for deep cycle purposes? http://www.evwest.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=4&osCsid=naglhlcs4afl705sfec49hln20

Actually I'm not quite sure I like the flat discharge curve of lithium batteries in all applications ... unless some metering is involved as to how much energy is left in the batteries.
With my lithium powered small home gadgets I get very little warning as to when the batteries are getting low - everything just almost suddenly stops. With the standard dry cells powering items things get gradually dimmer/weaker near the end of battery life, which serves as a "time to change or time to charge" advance warning. I wouldn't want those kind of sudden power stops on a battery bank in my RV.
