who has a sale going on good quality lithium batteries?
I saw this one, but they don't have built in heaters, which I may not even need here in Florida...

I want to go to lithium for the weight savings, not getting any younger, also am concerned with burning out my trucks alternator with charging the lithiums while traveling.

I could give a few pointers, but Will Prowse does it so much better on YouTube.

And there is a fuse on the wire if somehow the current gets too high.

If you are not burning out your truck's alternator charging the lead acid batteries in your camper, you won't burn out your truck's alternator charging lithium batteries.

OP says, “who has a sale going on good quality lithium batteries?”
There’re a number of variables to consider that impact quality - please clarify “good quality”…
