[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 308239, member: 704"] They say Battle Born and Dakota Lithium are cheaper over a ten year period than lead acid even at $999 a pop. Not really. A 100 amp standard battery drained to about 50 amps has gone from 12.6 v to about 11.5 v. Thats tough on some equipment and high quality inverters will shut down. Also when charging they accept 10 amps until they hit 50% then they reduce what they will take in. At 80% they will reduce what they take in to 2amp per hour. Lithium weigh about half as much and start at 13.4v. They dont drop until they are down to about 5%. This gives you nearly double the usable stored energy. When it comes to charging they will take full charge right up to 100% charge. To get all the power you can from the best six hours of sunlight you dont want a battery that you only get to 70 or 80% each day. It takes four lead acid to equal two lithium. Not to mention you can totally ignore them and they will only discharge max 10% in six months. Right now I am paying $240 for good AGM. [/QUOTE]
