Lithium-Ion battery?
Has anyone swapped their lead acid out for lithium-ion?
LIGHTWEIGHT Because of 3x higher specific energy and energy density numbers, Lithium batteries are small & light. SUPER DEEP CYCLING Depending on discharge depth, a Lithium battery can do 5x as many cycles as lead acid. It can handle 80% depth of discharge (DOD) while lead acid handles 50%. If replacing a lead acid battery under two years old due to deep-cycling damage, you'll save in the long run switching to Lithium-ion. FAST RECHARGE Lithium batteries can accept charge current up to 5x faster than lead acid batteries. Charge efficiency is about 75% for lead acid compared to 97% for Lithium, which means less recharge time and alternator strain. No need for venting, fully sealed! Even at double the cost I'm considering it.
