Thanks - I really wont need batteries until summer but this would save me over $700 so I just might do it. Two 8D’s would do nicely.

The dreaded before picture. From the thread "It is time...for new house batteries" - introducing the new house batteries! This article and discussion will likely evolve, I'll do my best to tell the story with as much detail as I can remember. It has been quite the week and a ton of information...

While looking into the Lithium myself I came across this company. Seems their prices are cheap, but I don't know much about batteries. Redodo Power—Lithium solar batteries and RV batteries!
They do have one battery that will replace all 4 of my lead acid ones.
