Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Just saw this post on Reuters

New Aluminum Battery For Smart Phones Can Be Charged In A Minute

7500 cycles... a lifetime of recharges.  Could this, being sufficiently large enough of a bank, be the future of RV batteries? They only produce half the voltage of Lithium-ion, surely that's a minor detail when it comes electric circuitry, just wire them in series and parallel as appropriate to get the necessary voltage and amps.  Techies chime in...

Battery tech advances appear to be making life on the road more comfortable very quickly in relative terms.

Still a few years off, but it is the right directions.

Probably many many years off.. but, if we're still RVing by then, we'll be looking at them when our LFPs wear out. :)

Recharge rate is less important than energy density for an RVer, and this one has a much lower energy density than LFPs.

"Plus aluminum cells only carry 40 watts of electricity per kilogram compared to lithium's 100 to 206 W/kg power density." www.engadget.com/2015/04/06/stanfords-battery-charges-in-one-minute/
