Hi Carolyn,
Enjoyed your listening to your podcast on Solar panels you upgraded. You don’t mention much about Lithium batteries have you done a separate one on this?

Here’s the article I wrote on lithium batteries: https://theboatgalley.com/lithium-batteries-boat/
We’re 4 years in now, and still loving them. They charge so much more efficiently, and of course you can use more of the power. We have Dragonfly, which are the same as Battle Borne, and highly recommend them.
