I have gone with a pair of 2 x 200ah cells give me 2 6 volt batteries. Mainly because I have the battery boxes to suit already available. Just about to go and playwith the wiring.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Re: Lithium & other advice/facts
Batteries are in transit, hope they don't get wet. Now the fun is really on. Just have to find out if I can use the Setec as a distribution centre with the caharger disabled. Just now trying to keep it all on budget and on schedule.

Feeling strong, Chuck? We have to remove 3x120 AmpH AGMs and replace them with 200 AmpH LiFePo4s, a weight difference of about 45kgs. Do you need a few boat anchors? Our batteries, according to the previous owner who built the van, are 7 years old. :-O So why do we replace them with Lithiums? Ask Erich!

Re: Lithium & other advice/facts
I have also an appliance I wish to test out on those batteries.
A report would be written of course.
