When I brought the LiFePo batteries to the boat last spring I climbed a ladder with 2 group 31 batteries in one hand. Didn’t realize it till I was halfway up the ladder. Made me smile. For me this was a no-brainer. I could not have gotten the usable capacity I wanted in the footprint available, and would have needed to modify the boat and add even more backbreaking weight. The other benefits of lithium were a pleasant surprise. lead-acid now seems like quaint, antique technology to me. Others may differ of course.
