For that $1000 per lithium battery you could buy 3 pair of FLA batteries (bought mine at Sam's for $150 each), each pair will last approximately 5 years, that's 15 years worth of batteries, you'll need 2 lithium batteries so that's 30 years worth of FLA batteries. Will 2 lithium batteries last 30 years?
IMHO you'd have to boondock full-time to justify that kind of $$$$ on batteries.

I understand the cost concern. And I don’t plan to boondocks. However, in 39 years of foolin around with rv’s I’ve never had a deep cycle battery last 5 years. In my experience, the first time you accidentally drain them down, the handwritings on the wall. Yes you can leave hooked up. But put em under a load and you won’t get lasting juice from them. This is just my experience. It’s kind of like my drill driver. With alkaline, as the battery loses juice, I lose power. With lithium ion, I’ve got full power until it’s dead. So I may consider Spending more when I replace em.
