WTF! gnaritas's comment has been [dead]ed. This site is turning into a fucking shithole. Here's what he said:
"Lead-acid is still better, it's 1/10 the cost for equivalent usable amp-hours. Most boaters use deep cycle golf cart batteries, they're produced at such scale that they're cheap as hell. Lithium is a waste of money and dangerous to boot. They only make sense if you're extremely space limited, which most bigger boats aren't."
Edit: apparently enough people vouched for the comment, it's back from the dead. But this definitely should not be happening to people like gnaritas who have devoted so much time and effort to making HN better.
