I will be buying one or more of those 54AH Lithium batteries soon at 17#..........

At 75 I am having a hard time packing the lead acid group 24, 12 volt batteries around @ 45#.



Lead acid Group 24, 12v batteries are around $100, 45# and 75AH but can only be drawn down 50% = 37AH

Dakota Lithium 54AH 12v batteries are around $500, 17# and 54AH and can be drawn down 80% = 43AH


Many lead acid deep cycle group 24 12v batteries only have a one year warranty.

Dakota Lithium batteries have an 11 year warranty......advertised to last 4 time longer than lead acid.



The hard part is spending $500 or $900 for a battery..........?
