Gdetrailer, few minor corrections if I may.
There are (many) Li batteries that come with BMS inside. Called "drop-in 12V battery replacement". You just drop it in place of an old battery.
Li have high initial cost, this doesn't make them more expensive because they have much longer cycle life than FLA - again, with proper care.
They are unforgiving to overcharging (95-99% is NOT recommended), over-discharging (avoid discharging below 30%), temps below freezing, temps over 100F, or too high current at the beginning of charging.
Recycling is a big point for those environmentally concerned. Li are so often toted as a part of "green" technology, promoters never mention the fact that Li can not be really recycled.
