I'm not sure how you get triple the cost for lithium, even if you can only buy from Amazon and only count up front cost. You're looking at 4x$170 lead batteries or 2x $500 lithium ones (in both cases the cheapest ones Amazon sells), which means $680 vs $1000. For triple the cost ($2040) you could buy name brand lithium instead (Battle Born or Renogy). And of course you're looking at 3000-5000 cycles to 90% DoD from the lithium rather than 300-500 to 50%... that extra zero really does affect the cost per cycle.
I found a couple of really good looking battery deals, what do you think of them? Are they sketchy?

Do you think the extra $100 is worth the pre-packaged BMS on the 12v100ah options?
I am also thinking about getting the Maxxair 5100 through Amazon, the manual opening one. The reviews on Amazon seem to indicate that if the fan fails it's really hard to get service/replacement. Does anyone have experience with this?
What do you all think of just taking out the starter battery and replacing it with a lithium one, and using that for the house battery?
