The one thing I have found with lithium batteries is that you better make damn sure that they don't discharge past a certain point or you end up with expensive boat anchors. My Bad Boy Buggy currently has AGM's and I'm happy. Just don't want a fellow MOC'er to spend a lot of $$$ and regret it.
This is opposite of what is being said about lithium. Where standard lead acid or AGM batteries suffer some damage when they are routinely discharged below 50%, lithium is supposed to be able to be discharged down to 20% or lower without dropping voltage or being damaged.
