I went ahead an ordered the 100ah shown in the video. Amazon kept showing the 20ah when I ordered but, the 100ah was delivered. I’m doing a one for one exchange. So whenever the new battery box comes I’ll install the box, adjust the solar monitor and switch the power distribution system (correct name???.) to li. LI battery is larger than the the old one but weighs 30lbs less.
@T&KP, welcome to the lithium club! Assuming everything works as it should, you'll never go back to tired old lead.

We have 2-100 amp LFP's under the bed. Charging with a 60 amp converter, the batteries get warm but not hot. I vented to bed box and installed a 3 inch fan for the inverter. Protect the battery terminals and other connection from shorting.

Lithium all the way - I've never regretted the purchase. I have regretted the purchase of the AGM batteries - weight and lack of usable capacity the main reasons. Final answer! (for this year)
We don’t boondock much, but if there is a power outage I’ll have power a lot longer if I have Lithium LifePo4 batteries.

@T&KP posted:I’m really happy with the lithium battery. It’s less than half the weight of the old marine LA. Just a simple push of a button inside fuse box and it was ready to go.
Weight, weight, yes, yes! Just the weight saving alone is a terrific reason to go lithium.
