Clarke, you may want to read my previously posts on golf cart batteries. I replace six 8D starter batteries used for the house with twelve 6 volt golf cart batteries which I purchased at Costco for $90 each. I then installed automatic watering, and this is so very much cheaper and perhaps more reliable than other solutions. The company I worked for was a major producer of lithium in all forms and I am familiar with the explosive nature of lithium in liquid and foil configurations. I trust the golf cart batteries, but there will have to be a lot more experience with lithium before I would trust it. Just one man's opinion.
