Lithium or AGM for occasional touring — is lithium actually worth it?
Celso P.Roaming since Mar 2026July 2026
The battery debate does my head in. Lithium is lighter and gives you more usable power, but it costs a lot more up front. For someone who only gets away a handful of times a year — often on powered sites — is lithium genuinely worth it, or is a good AGM setup plenty? Keen for honest experiences either way.
