Why?

Lithium battery cost is still way high, AND there are issues with ambient temperature sensitivity with NMH and Lithium chemistries. Mine lost 40% capacity last year due to my foolishness of daily trickle charging and use in high Wisconsin summer heat. Lesson learned!

*Lowly* lead acid seems to be making a comeback.
