$949 x 2= $1898 :shock:

I wouldn't - too expensive. Plus there is that small danger of a fire from lithium batteries and you also may have to change the charger/converter in your coach to be compatible with this type of battery.

Negatives: Initial price. Low temp cutoff 25 deg F. Possible low temp performance issues. Low temp charge cutoff 37 deg F. You might need a new charger if yours isn't compatible with lion cutoff limit and no-float reqs.

Positives: Lifetime price. 10VDC low voltage cutoff. Good battery protection circuitry. 5+X longevity/cycles. Charge speed, (if you've got the charging current). Half the weight. Easy maintenance reqa (no float voltage, no desulfination).

Don't know the drain due to internal circuitry or parasitic drain so storage maintenance requirements are a wild card.

Not a snowball's chance in h*ll. Not when you can buy high quality Group 31 batteries for $130 each. They seem to last four or five years easily.... and are recyclable. $2000 will buy you a lot of them.
