Anything new in batteries for solar
I have four 31 size lead acid batteries. They are heavy and you only get to used half their capacity. Is anything come up recently that could be a reasonable replacement--probably lithium?

It may be that other companies are saying 32 deg F to allow some cushion because their BMS systems do not prevent the battery from taking a charge at low temperature. The Battle Born BMS prevents the battery from taking a charge if below 25 deg F.
For extended traveling in cold weather I do have a heating system installed in my insulated battery box. I can keep my batteries above 30 deg F when the outside temperature is as low as -25 deg F. The heating system is powered by the truck.
