Lets try to not lump all Li technologies into the same pile
They are VASTLY different
Four each 400amp 3.2Vdc Prismatic LiFePo4 cells will give you a wonderful RV house battery in a 0p4s configuration
Charging/discharging is actually FAR easier and less expensive just Vastly different than what Lead Acid batteries demand - DO not expect a drop in Lead Acid replacement Li battery technology in the near future - A SYSTEM solution IS required
For many of us these few things easily made the sale for Li technology as compared to Lead Acid , FLA, GEL, AGM etc... in our rigs
No need to EQ, No Need to TOP charge, No need to clean up acid, No float charge, Can be discharged to 10% or less with ZERO issues, Very low self discharge, Far less weight, Smaller size for same or greater power capability, No need to fully recharge every time, Charge at 13.6/8Vdc no need for all that extra BMS equipment, Fast high charging, A simple Amp counter works fine as a "fuel gauge", etc......
To each their own - My choice LiFePo4 for RV house batteries
