Hi all.

Just this year I put together an e-bike with lithium-ion battery and also got a camper with AGM house battery,
What an education!

Everything said here was discovered by myself as I got up to speed on these technologies.
upshot for me is:
  • Hi-tech lightweight batteries for fun on the bike,
  • Heavy tolerant systems for the camper and boat.
A telling consideration is found in this ironic question:
Why would one care about weight savings in a boat with 5,000 lbs of lead in the keel?

I agree with Neil; gotta keep these systems from running our lives, but we do need to keep the beer cold.

Cheers,

Russ
