I still don't get it, with Li batteries.
The cost is outrageous.
They don't tolerate the cold. My wet cell deep cycle batteries live behind my front bumper and have worked perfectly down to -15F.
Additional devices must be purchased and added into the charging system. I.E. BMS, DC to DC chargers, etc.
Temps below freezing is a no-no when charging Li. I think Battleborn allow few degrees below freezing, but most brands don't. Discharge and storage of Li down to 0F is fine.
Li cost in dollars per cycle is now lower than any other battery type on the market. BMS are inlcuded with drop-in Li, some users choose to buy cells and attach BMS - to save money.
