Nothing against Li batteries, BUT (indeed large BUT) to do them properly, one has to add in the cost of a proper Li battery charger, make changes to wiring so the alternator does not damage them, be aware of their temperature range etc.
If an RV is set up for Li batteries from the factory, they make a lot more sense to me.
BTW, have used Lifeline batteries in our sailboats and motorhomes.
Nonsense.
Most lithium batteries are idiot proof. No one would spend that kind of $$ if they weren't. I have 2 Relion RB100-LT 100Ah batteries and they were drop in, plug and play.
I charge mine with a factory installed Onan QD3200 genset, a factory installed PD 9245 converter/charger with a user added charge wizard pendant, and a factory installed Zamp ZS-30A solar charge controller, and my factory installed Mercedes-Benz 220A alternator. That's it. No extra parts required. It works flawlessly, and don't let anyone tell you different. If they haven't tried/don't have lithium, they're not qualified to comment.
