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?

Unfortunately, some LI makers require a refresh charge to be done every three months (iirc). My brother ruined an LI by ignoring this suggestion.
That means there has to be some way to warm the batteries in storage, and then charge them up. It is all too complicated.
I do think LI is a great idea for anywhere that it stays above freezing year round.

And when putting the trailer in cold storage with no heat, just isolate the batts from any charging source, or loads.
It does make things more complicated ...
