Wait until people start getting attached to their LiFePo batteries!
Now that I could appreciate. For the average boondocker, Li is a complete game changer. The only time I can imagine it not being so, is if one has almost unlimited available solar and can easily keep their FLA's topped up. But as soon as a genset is needed, Li changes everything.
I know Li would improve my situation enormously, in several ways. For one, by not having to ventilate fumes, I could close in my battery compartment in winter, and easily keep the batts in a warm environment, without excessive heat loss. And I would not have to suffer capacity loss due to cold FLA's. And the lack of available solar in winter would not have near the impact on gen run times.
On the other hand, mppt is a definite improvement over pwm, in many situations, but I'm not sure I would call it a game changer.
