Lithium is a game changer... if you can afford it. Most of the lead-acid woes disappear when you go there.

Yeah, I really can't afford the lithiums, and I was told the charging system has to be replaced with something made for lithiums, or it will only charge up to 85%. I guess I'll go to the local dealer and discuss my options for solar. I know the rig is wired for it (the connectors are on the roof) but that's where my knowledge of solar ends. Thanks a bunch!!
