The issue with the Lithium Ion batteries is the cost of them - they are just shy of $1,000/each.  I do not think they are there just yet - price wise.  I am also running a 12V TM but I am going to buy two Costco 27M 120AH Marine  Batteries $169.99/each and wire them in parallel.  I can replace this system 2.7 times for the cost of one Lithium Ion battery.

My opinion..

Too expensive, need a specific charger, no warning of the battery going dead, it just dies.  Not there yet, but I'm sure some day they will be.

There is also new battery tech coming out that is supposed to out perform lithium.

Would that be solid star batteries or Aluminum-Ion  they seem to be two of the top contenders

Figures. I buy my first lithum battery, and new stuff coming out. 😆 🤣

Everything I have seen is at least 2 years  or more away from production

If Australia can make this happen with sending production to you know where, they will have a pretty good business.

What I like about them is it charges about 60 x faster then lithium. I know they are saying 70 but everything I read up to now said up to 60

Even 10X would be fantastic and the price much lower.
