  • You raise a good point.

    I’m much the same in that I just refuse to watch anything with ads. They really are dystopian and weird.

    I also get that same feeling when I see someone just grinding through youtube ads, but people that do that just don’t seem to have any awareness of the interaction - it’s just part of the show.

    The weirdest of all is when people (usually brave browser enthusiasts?) try to claim that “some” ads are actually a good thing because it makes them aware of some product they actually desire which they wouldn’t have been aware of otherwise. I’ll take blissful ignorance thanks.

    So yes, I can imagine people doing this stuff without really thinking about it.
















  • Fair enough.

    It seems like on an e-bike Lithium would be the go due to it’s higher energy density.

    On a trailer you can house it in something appropriate and the size and weight requirements aren’t as restrictive.

    It seems like keeping the battery is a common practice when selling a trailer. That’s why mine doesn’t have one. A lot of people would never use one if they’re always parked in someone’s yard or in a powered site.

    I doubt we will really need a battery at all over the next 6 months with the trips we have planned. Probably better to hold off until we have a few trips under our belt to determine exactly what appliances we’re really going to need.


  • Thanks! The other reply obviously meant well but was a bit mansplainey !

    My situation is, I’ve recently purchased a camper trailer. It’s wired up but needs a battery. I haven’t had time to “research” other than seeing what batteries people are selling second hand. It seemed to me that everyone was using AGM batteries for this purpose and while I knew that AGM referred to the physical structure of glass mesh I had assumed it was synonymous with deep cycle batteries.

    Now I’ve read about it a bit more I realise that LiFePO4 batteries are superior but more costly.

    I guess, the reason why I was seeing AGM batteries everywhere is because everyone’s buys them because they’re cheap and then realises they really needed LiFePO4 so they try to sell the AGM and upgrade.
