Lithium-ion batteries are more expensive than typical AGM batteries but are well worth the investment. Lithium deep-cycle batteries are known for their longevity, dependability, and ability to utilize more stored power without damaging them. AGM batteries can be damaged once they get below fifty percent capacity and may not recharge to full capacity if damaged.
