Each of the 2 suburban lead acid batteries took 2 amps just to hold them at 14.4 volts.
So to hold the system voltage at 14.4 it took 4 amps.
The lithium batteries take practically nothing to hold them at 14.5 volts.
The suburbans lead acid batteries also weighed between 50 and 60 pounds each.
The lithium batteries I replaced them with weigh about 30 pounds.
