[QUOTE="condor22, post: 625075, member: 1932"] 1. One of the reasons I bought a metal cased Lithium Deep Cycle, steel/alum don't burn well, plastic do...... 2. As mentioned over charging or too big a load for too long aint good...... 3. Just because it says you can charge at a certain rate,, doesn't mean you should. Mine says 0.5C, but I charge at 0.3C. Takes longer, but kinder to the battery and safer. 4. The bigger reason is battery quality, there are a lot of cheaply constructed lithiums as well as AGM's. Then the reliability of the lithium internal BMS. Like caravans, lithium manufacturers are poorly regulated in Oz, notwithstanding some of the imported crap we seem to get in this country. [/QUOTE]
