Just curious - why Lithiums are so heavy?
100 AH, flooded, 66-69 lbs. 100 AH, Li, 29-31 lbs. Brain-dead sellers jumping on a new bandwagon, "One-fifth the weight of a traditional battery", yahooo.... More usable capacity, yes, but not...

Another "problem" with Li batteries that lead acid or classic dry cell batteries don't have is: Li batteries don't smoothly taper off voltage as they begin to need recharging - they just kindof are full voltage all the time or suddenly put out inadequate voltage right when they die.
I see this all the time with the Li batteries in my flashlights. The flashlights are either nice and bright or suddenly too dim. I prefer batteries that provide slower declining voltage values as they die.
This characteristic of Li batteries could leave some RV users suddenly power starved if their Li battery systems don't include easily accessible and understandable meters indicating how many amp hours are left in the battery bank.
