Lithium prices are starting to drop. This battery seems to be high quality, will last forever, is lightweight and most important, costs under 400 bucks. If I was starting anew, it would be on the "A" list. https://www.amazon.com/LiFePO4...amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl Here's a good video from a respected youtuber who does this sort of thing for a living. He liked it a lot.

I clicked on the link above the video and it brought up an Amazon link claiming to sell this on sale at $33. (?!) Then I realized it was for a 6AHr battery. There were other sizes listed, but the highest was only 20AHr for $100. Read the Amazon ad carefully.

One other issue is the Charger used. The new WFCO's are switchable between LA (lead acid) and LI (lithium) and had to upgrade mine. Lithium's charge at 14.6-14.8v versus 13.8. I purchased two 100aH LiFePo4 for $310 each from Ali Express (Mr. Li's site). Received within 2 weeks. Included a LiFePo4 charger for each. Charges from 400w of solar. So far, so good.

Chins is another Lithium mfg. that is quite a bit less than Battle Born. It is in the neighborhood of $400.00 for a 100 amp battery with a bms system built in. Will ( the guy in the video) liked it in a review. Link below and you can select the amp hour you desire if interested. https://www.amazon.com/LiFePO4...e/dp/B08FMTRYPT?th=1

We don’t boondock much, but if there is a power outage I’ll have power a lot longer if I have Lithium LifePo4 batteries.
