Chad Heiser Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) For those in the market for Lithium Batteries, Amazon currently has a sale on Renogy smart Lithium Iron Phosphate 100 amp hour batteries. They are selling for $629.99, which is 30% off. I wish I was ready to upgrade to Lithium. Well let me restate that. I wish my DW was ready to let me upgrade to Lithium. 😁 I'd love to make the switch, but my 1040 amp hours of AGM batteries are still chugging along and I can't convince my DW we need to switch now. Here is a link to the Amazon listing. And here is a link to Will Prowse from DIY Solar Power tearing into one of these batteries to see what kind of quality they have. Hopefully this helps someone out. Happy belated Thanksgiving. On edit, I have no affiliation with these, I just think it is a great deal and wanted to share.

Randyretired Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Aliexpress and others also have a pretty good sales on lithium phosphate cells now. I put in an order for enough calab cells for 800 amp hours at 12 volts. I have 6 golf cart batteries presently but I needed more capacity so I am going to change it all to lithium. These cells were on sale for $1437 for 16 two hundred amp hour cells shipped. Quote Randy 2001 Volvo VNL 42 Cummins ISX Autoshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have considered doing that myself, but realistically I probably won't make the switch to lithium until my next rig which will be a couple years down the road.

hemsteadc Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Note that it says "DO NOT string this battery in series". Probably not relevant to most situations, but would kill it for me. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. That's a great buy!

dartmouth01 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hoping this signals a steady decrease in prices. I'm also not yet ready to move to lithium as well, but if the price comes down a bit more, I may be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
