Fair enough.

It seems like on an e-bike Lithium would be the go due to it’s higher energy density.

On a trailer you can house it in something appropriate and the size and weight requirements aren’t as restrictive.

It seems like keeping the battery is a common practice when selling a trailer. That’s why mine doesn’t have one. A lot of people would never use one if they’re always parked in someone’s yard or in a powered site.

I doubt we will really need a battery at all over the next 6 months with the trips we have planned. Probably better to hold off until we have a few trips under our belt to determine exactly what appliances we’re really going to need.

Thanks! The other reply obviously meant well but was a bit mansplainey !

My situation is, I’ve recently purchased a camper trailer. It’s wired up but needs a battery. I haven’t had time to “research” other than seeing what batteries people are selling second hand. It seemed to me that everyone was using AGM batteries for this purpose and while I knew that AGM referred to the physical structure of glass mesh I had assumed it was synonymous with deep cycle batteries.

Now I’ve read about it a bit more I realise that LiFePO4 batteries are superior but more costly.

I guess, the reason why I was seeing AGM batteries everywhere is because everyone’s buys them because they’re cheap and then realises they really needed LiFePO4 so they try to sell the AGM and upgrade.

I thought AGM were considered “deep cycle”, as in designed for their full capacity to be used between charges.

Yeah. I really dislike this “rule” because it’s commonly espoused by motivational speakers and efficiency “experts” saying you make 80% of your money from 20% of your time.

It sounds great if you’ve never heard it before but in practice it just means “be more efficient” and is not really actionable.

Some examples of active sabotage?

2 separate unrelated statements.

More users isn’t necessarily good.

Every time there’s an influx from whatever shit storm we retain about 20%.

I think I saw a post about exactly this.

I think with a lot of technologies the first 95% is easy but the last 5% becomes exponentially harder.

With LLMs though I think the problem is conflating them with other forms of intelligence.

They’re amazingly good at forming sentences, but they’re unable to do real actual work.
