[QUOTE="thill, post: 500704, member: 4972"] I based this on a number of others who are running that setup, and the calculation that a 50AH lithium is supposed to yield about the same use per charge as the 100AH DC lead batteries that I'm currently running. So, in theory, I shouldn't lose anything, and will gain a much greater longevity for about the same price. That being said... as prices go down, I'm leaning toward going ahead with the 100AH LiFeP0 batteries. The reason is, my 24V Riptide is always fighting heavy currents, so gaining TWICE the useable run time is pretty desirable. I just need to justify making the jump, which is what's slowing me down. The DC batteries are working pretty great after 18 months, but I suspect they are about halfway through their lifespan. The battery brand in the forefront is the TimeUSB brand for $279 after coupon, including shipping: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BBZL5BPR[/URL] I base that choice on some pretty good reviews.
