How about lithium batterys for your camper. All my cordless tools have them and they work great. ------------- JFCI |

An RV is not the venue for Lithium Technology. Just like it isn't used for starting batteries in cars.

Lithium chemistry is perfect where weight is the driving factor, like electric model airplanes/helicopters/drones. The cost doesn't make sense for campers. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual

It costs big $$$ for anything that's not traditional lead/acid chemistry. Lead/Acid works fine for the price. The best bang for the buck would be 2 deep cycle golf cart batteries ( 6 Volt X 2) . Spending more money for Li-Ion or Ni-Mh would be money thrown away in my opinion. Personally I have 2 X 12 volt standard lead acid dual purpose (starting/deep cycle) batteries, the kind that are almost universally standard equipment for travel trailers. WHile they wouldn't last as long as true deep cycle batteries, they get me through 4 days without charging if I don't have to run the furnace much. ------------- 2017 ATC 7X20 Custom Toy Hauler 2013 R-Pod 177 (SOLD) 2013 VW Touareg TDI |
