    Honestly both the Lithium and the lead carbon battery looks like good options at the moment. My one family member has a massive system and it might be time for me to go have a look at what he is been doing as well.

    Old model inverters do not have this option.
    In fact when purchasing an inverter, the question should be asked whether the inverter can accommodate Lithium batteries or not.

    100% agree, older models like mine do not support the charging and i was advised against using my system and my stand alone charger for these batteries. However the new charges isn't that expensive.
