I'm not that educated about it either, but I might have some answers. I mostly looked into using lithium batteries because my hobby is solar power. I currently have enough lead-acid batteries and solar panels to run my washing machine twice a week off solar, which is putting a serious dent in...

As far as batteries go, they can...
