Hi guys. Could you tell us the following…. 1. Weight of the new 560 lithium battery 2. Can it be installed externally in the weather on your caravan where our existing 3 x 120 amp deep cycle batteries are positioned 3. Did you say they could make a variety of sizes and what is the physically size of your 560amp battery 4. Do you know when it would be available to the public Thanks guys. Bertha is coming along fine really well.
