Lion Safari UT - new tech battery, not cheap
Anyone sprung $799 to 999 for that battery. Seems to be making inroads into the RV market. A few reviews are popping online. Lithium-Ion Phosphate, lifetime warranty. 100 AH, 20 lbs. Group 24 size....

AFAIC a great heads up for brand new technology products. It needs consumer proofing to learn it's quirks. The Optima battery is a perfect example. When released upon the public 99% of Optima claims went up in smoke. I would recommend patience then look for a thousand five star reviews. I call this THE OXY-CLEAN REALITY. BS claims adjustment. Like STP, the JC Penny battery, miracle teflon coatings.
David ... I have one example of Optima living fully up to it's "claims":
My 12-14 year old Optima Group 31 large Yellow Top AGM battery that I purchased early in it's release (soon pulled off the market because the U.S. military purchased exclusive rights) still holds it's charge month after month in the trunk of our daily driver sedan.
I carry it in the trunk of our car kept fully charged up so I don't have to call ERS for a jump start if ever needed. A self-jump-start is way quicker and less hassle. ;)
