[Monkey Wrench]

I can't speak for the lithium ones except they work great in things like power tools and I was not aware of the problems of freezing temps.

the last lead acid I got was a deep cycle battery and I though that best for me as I tend to park them intermittently and for longer periods than a daily driver.

lithium ones probably wont leak, and they are smaller and the weight difference is nice..

I soak a pad in baking soda and water, let dry and put that under any lead acid battery to kill the acid if it does leak any. - to save the battery box from rusting.

im wondering if some are able to use solar chargers just to keep batteries topped up because that seemed practical,, If I run a charger I have to run an extension cord out, ill do it occasionally but with 5 cars its kind of an ongoing job just to keep them all from dying due to sitting uncharged and unused. I seem to have better luck if I pull one post off when they sit..

once or twice it happened that I neglected to unhook my charger and it cooked the battery, I know they should stop charging. it starts making a stink and the battery can get hot , might be dangerous..

what I do is put on an outdoor light while its charging as a reminer not to leavie it for over 4 hours or so..

I have a big shop charger and some smaller ones, Id like to know how to check the cutout circuit maybe they get stuck and keep charging..

from what I'M hearing charging lithium batteries is one of, if not THE leading cause of house fires. A lot seems due to cheap quality or mismatched chargers. I am not hearing stories of people charging name brand power tools and of those starting fires.

sorry if I'm a little OT but the ones with actual experiences with the conversion can still provide info. - interesting topic for us all.
