The pitfalls of bying Lithium batteries (article)

In my quest for REALLY lightweight battery I found this article (haven't found lightweight battery though, nothing under 28lbs for Gr31). http://www.electriccarpartscompany.com/The-Pitfalls-of-Buyi...

Why is lighter than 28# so important?


For my little trailer I only have 800# CCC. I spent 280# of that on batteries.

When I can buy Lithium Manganese batteries batteries in the 100ah range for around $300 I'll happily upgrade.

My current g31 are 200ah but the 50% rule means it's only advisable to use the top 100ah of that or damage the battery.
