Default Re: So WTF is so great about Lithium?

Promoting lastest battery buzz words I guess !
LiPo for houses probably has a degree of set and forget, idiot proofness.

For transport related stuff the space saving, weight and potential 90% deep cycling of a LiPo over AGM and lead acids would be a positive (sic) advantage.
I can understand its weight saving uses in trucks/motorhomes/vans/boats etc.

Myself have stuck with heavy wide plate lead acid (years of tried and proven offgrid power) and will continue to do so simply because its serviceability over SLA, AGM or ($1000 per 100amps) LiPo stuff.
The new stuff when it fails, IT FAILS. A capped, wide plate Lead acid can usually be brought back to life with a little patience. (and luck)
Only place not really suited to pure lead acid is aboard boats and yachts given the heeling motion (read knockdowns) of passagemaking. AGM's are still widely the standard here.
