BUT, and there is always a but, the new Lithium batteries have a very fast charge rate, and you can "top them off" unlike lead acid. So, you can come home with say 50% charge left, plug in and 30 minutes later go out with maybe 80% charge (30 to 40 miles0, come back and plug in and 2 hours later and you definitely have a full charge again (50 to 70 miles).
So, far less anxiety - maybe.

Has anyone seen a lithium battery on fire. As I understand there is no way to extinguish it. Nice to store in your garage. Love to hear from anyone with "facts"
