Now that a bit more time has passed, it seems that the former uber fervent ‘anti-Lithium camp’ has quietly gone dark (R.I.P.)… I take little comfort in this, except to say that the near continuous stream of unsubstantiated claims (mostly keyboard quackery) has expired, and without even a whimper…One might now rightfully conclude that Lithium (more specifically, LiFePo4) has apparently crossed the naysayer’s and market acceptance threshold :) JMHO only…3 tons

Ya, good luck with that. There will always be those that because LifeP04 has different operational requirements will use that as an excuse that they are no good. It is different and scary.

I agree!!! I have been using lithium for almost 4 years and was always amused by the lack of understanding on the nay sayers part. I have used them with a standard converter and with a lithium specific converter. My batteries are charged by solar when parked at home and they are always "full".Housted

I use lithium ion batteries in my electric tools, other than that, I don’t own any lithium batteries. I suspect the vast majority of people are like me. If that constitutes acceptance than I guess you have a point; although I’m befuddled as to why you felt the need to make it.Possibly you was only referring to “acceptance” by the solar/off grid battery RVers - which is a vast minority of the population?

I am glad to be rid of the toxic lead.
