I think the advantages have been pretty well canvassed on TF over the last couple of years. The higher per-battery costs are significantly offset by requiring fewer of them. I am attracted by the higher re-charge rate/shorter genset ( & alternator) running times; and by their apparent robustness.

Demand in N America is now so high that getting them in other markets is even harder than it was 20 months ago. Supposed to be new manufacturing plants (in India) coming on line soon.
