My components will be:
One AIMS 1 100Ah battery, list price $850 at the Inverter Store https://theinverterstore.com/product...100ah-lifepo4/. (But it costs me about $950 for me, because I pay NV Sales Tax on this item). It replaces 2*SLA 100Ah, and provides about the same usable capacity.
- Edit 5/719 - I just changed that and bought a single '150Ah' battery, direct from China:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/12V-...006197898.html. If it shows up and works as advertised, it's 50% more battery for quite a bit less money.
- Edit 7/19719 - If I were buying a USA-built product today, I would choose one or two of the
Trojan "Trillium". The battery protection and status display are greatly 'enhanced', in comparison to other Products (including Battle Born). Among other features, a "battery protector" battery shutoff is built in, handling
both out-of-range voltage and out-of-range temperature issues.
(For me, SLA was always hard to charge above about 85% on the road, and needed to red-line at 50% SOC. That allowed only 35% available AND useable capacity per battery. With LiFePO4, I can probably use more than 75% of the nominal capacity - that's more power available from just one battery.)
A PD 4655L "MBA WildKat" 55A converter section replacement, with 'Wizard' pendant. Surprisingly, I think that I should use the pendant to control charging - and *NOT* flick the switch for "Lithium". PD Sales and Support representatives agree.
