[QUOTE="Gold1hunter, post: 639667, member: 14696"] I don't think we're on the same page 60% = for every 10amps pushed into the AGM 6amps will be usable as 4amps gets resisted during the process of charging, whereas Lithium you'll get 95% or 9.5 usable amps for every 10 amps you push in. So Lithium will charge a lot faster than lead which is a lot of fuel saved if using a generator also consideration on the amount of solar panels required for each which brings us back to weight adding it on or taking it off. (I'm going off on a tangent here sorry) I run 2 x 240ah Lithium 25kg each = 50kg. Usable amps @ 80% = 384 amps To get 384 amps usable power from lead (agm) I'd need 768 amps total as 50% drained is considered flat. I would need a bit more than 6 x 120ah agm batteries @ 33kg each 198kg I'm saving 148kg by using Lithium + consideration on solar panel saving. [/QUOTE]
