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

They are definitely worth it,especially for a truck camper..100ah lifepo4 batteries start around $399 with quite a few in the $400 range and a bunch in the $500 range...Buy 2 good agm's for 100ah and your in the $400's..Most lifepo4 advertise 2000 cycles to 0% and of course more at 20%/30% or less..
There lighter and charge faster..Just last week I put 50ah back into my battery in less than 3 hours making it 100% full..Can't do that with my lead acid..I am 6 hours short of 10 days using my Engel fridge/freezer set at 35 degree's and I am at 43% battery capacity on my 120ah lithium battery.
My battery spread sheet say's 6000 cycles to 80% and I paid less than $600 tomy door for 120ah and I am glad I went this way for my TC..To each there own but you don't have to buy a Battleborn and pay there price because the competition is growing fast and as said above,DIY lifepo4 are cheaper yet and easy to do anymore..
