There is no possible financial advantage to putting Li in your coach as a replacement for a more affordable option like lead acid (not my favorite, but cheap) or AGM (my favorite but a bit more expensive). If you are expecting the World to come to an end and you plan to survive this by having an RV that can support you without any grid of any kind, then maybe the few thousand extra dollars would make some sense.

why do people always compare the sams club 6V to LFP you comparing the bottom of the class to the top of the class. if your going to compare a lead acid at least get close. how about we try comparing a rolls surette 6V at 450.00 cdn for 235AH so two of those will give you 117ish usable AH for 900 plus tax and about 900 cycles.

for 319.00 cdn I can get one of these and have 100AH usable, if you don't want to use 100% of the capacity get two and have 160 AH usable heck you can get three and only pay 60 bucks more than the rolls surette and have 240 usable AH at 80% depth of charge and 4000 cycles so now over the life they are even cheaper.

oh, another thing when a lead acid cycles out it won't hold a charge anymore, when LFP reaches its cycle life it still works as normal just it only has 80% of its rated capacity left. So, it's not necessarily garbage and you could possibly use it for another 4000 cycles or more.

319 cdn? really?

did you click on the link? if you did you wouldn't be asking ;) but yes really.

i did and it appears to be 319 usd!
