The question is simply has anyone used Lithium batteries. I presume that with a 100 amp hour battery bank I'd at least double my inverter time. Just wondering if I'd double my charge time as well. And what's the true life span of the battery? With proper care I can make a acid battery last 8 years. And the fridge is always on gas. I don't run it on AC unless I'm plugged in which is rare.

Just a couple of observations on this post. If you are draining your battery to 25% you're killing it and shortening it's life every time you do it. A lead acid battery should not be drained below 50%. An 8 yr lifespan on a flooded battery? I'd like to know what brand that is.
ALL of the appliances (other than the stove/oven) require 12 vdc to operate the controller while operating on LP gas ar on 110 vac.
