Are lithium batteries worth the cost?
I can carry two group 29s in my AF1150. Are they worth it?

Don't Waste Your Money On Batteries - The Shocking Truth I Discovered When Testing RV Batteries
This is a 36 minute video comparing various battery chemistries and manufacturers (sorry, no SiO2). My "executive summary" is LiFePO4 is the winner because of their life expectancy and depth of discharge (down to near 0% SOC).
Good old FLA 5V golf cart batteries performed well and were the lowest cost, but also a much shorter lifespan.
The interesting footnote was, AGM are really not worth the additional cost unless you are willing to pay the premium price for no liquid !
