The idea that you must have an Li battery system in your RV before you are allowed to comment on Li systems is bogus.
Many of those who have experience with Li have only had it for a few years so they cannot yet say they have been maintaining them properly.
Anybody with a Walmart 27DC which might last 3 years in his care, and who has had his for 2 years and it is "just fine" might think he is doing everything right too.
Those with Li in their RVs should wait till the Li has done its rated number of cycles before saying it will do better than any other battery for cost per cycle. That could take 16 years. Folks are getting over 8 years from their Flooded/AGM set-ups now.
It also implies that anything that can be read about Li systems cannot be considered correct (which is a distortion of the idea you can't believe everything you read), and only those who have Li are able to tell what is correct from any such reading material.
The same apparently does not apply to those who "did their research" before getting Li! ( Where, not being Li owners yet, they somehow managed to figure out what was correct in what they were reading)
All forum members are allowed to comment. Peer review happens. But having Li does not grant a forum member exclusive rights to Li as a topic. Here endith rant.
