The idea of this post was to determine how likely leaf springs failing is. In the video I saw he recommended carrying a spare and seemed to think them failing isn't that uncommon.

It will work with Lithium but they won't ever charge up all the way. If it is the Progressive Dynamic Panel you can buy a lithium converter and swap it in, it is very easy.
