    Bill ! When I was removing those heavy awkward AGM batteries I know it was time for a change, I was dragging my feet on the Lithium change over because of safety price and the whole thing. Lithium Iron batteries are getting better and more affordable and less hassle’s, Lithium Iron are safer, Price they were $4490 x4= $1796 free shipping a day and a half for delivery, They have hi and low voltage protection, hi and low temp protection blue tooth,(BMS) battery management system built in, you can get heaters in them, We don’t get cold enough to have a problem here,If they go dead, does not hurt them, 4000 charge cycles, I know I had to change Magnum settings and I’m going to add a DC to Dc $159 dollar charger for driving down the road, Don has proved to do nothing on his Alternator charging is working just fine, And Johthan Fine set his voltage Regulator higher and that’s working to. Biggest thing Is Dry camping! Wow those batteries can hold a charge and at 50% they are still over 13volts, My AGM batteries at 50% were Low. I’ve been running the crap out of the new batteries throwing everything but the kitchen at them and they keep going, I drove it 25 miles the other day for a diesel run and Victron went from 45% to 57% they charge much quicker, So yes right now it is a learning curve but in the long run it will be worth it.
