The premium isn't slight. It's a good 2X. So you don't do it to save $$.

I again say, prices will drop, and the slight premium you may have to pay will far exceed the price savings. You can put a DIY lithium setup in your cart for a little less than 2k now. If you get 7-8 years out of it, then you just made it so you can enjoy a maintenance free battery that gives you full power from start to finish, extended run times and is better for the environment. Premium paid is about 75 to a 100 dollars a year. Prices don't need to come down much before I see that as a slight expense. |

Considering where prices were last year at this time, I'd say these are becoming more affordable as time passes. The technology and ease of install provided by sellers (HAC) seems to have improved also.
Hopefully with the Tesla plant in NV opening up soon lithium prices will drop even faster. |

Re: Another lithium conversion questions post
A less than 2K setup is going to have limited range as compared to what I have in mine. My cost was more like 3K when you include the charger. Is it coming down? Yes but not that fast. Remember that most of the upgrades available are salvaged batteries not new ones. Availability of suitable batteries is limited. Once availability improves, the cost will come down.
