Make sure your converter will change a lithium battery. Last I knew, it took a special converter so that adds to your cost.

The advantages of Lithium generally apply to those that want 400-500 ah of battery along with solar to support boondocking. Those that spend most of their time hooked up in a campground are not as likely to jump on the Lithium bandwagon.
