[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 919057, member: 2310"] :thumbs: As an example: Leoch 4.8kwh 48v Li battery has been advertised on powerforum.co.za for 16k That's a capacity equivalent of 4x typical 12v 100ah wet cell batteries which will cost you from 8k for ordinary, up to more than 16k for top quality gel / crystal deep cycle. However, even the best deep cycle will give you no more than 40-50% of its capacity before they start degrading, permanently. Li on the other hand will typically give you 3600 cycles (every day for 10 YEARS!) of 100% discharge, or 5000 cycles at 90%, 6500-7000 at 80-75%, etc. IMO, It makes no sense buying anything but Li.
