Anything new in batteries for solar
I have four 31 size lead acid batteries. They are heavy and you only get to used half their capacity. Is anything come up recently that could be a reasonable replacement--probably lithium?

Lots of alternatives if you are willing to pay the money. Large lithium battery banks can cost several thousands of dollars while a lead acid or AGM etc.. will be a fraction of that.
Lithium is lighter and can be discharged to a deeper rate which means you can have a smaller amphour size bank. Still the cost though upfront is significant. This is a pretty good video comparing and contrasting benefits
