My 2 small stand alone systems have been working great for some time now but I need to install 4 new batteries and the Rolls I bought last year for the other system are not available. I'm using Renogy cc's and they do not recommend using lithium batteries. They don't say why...finding batteries on the island is hard enough and the lithium's are more widely available. What's the risk?
