Will Prowse opens up a Battle Born LiFePO4 battery....

 

 

Also- he mentions his forum... DIY Solar Power Forum.  It's well worth a look as it's very active and covers a wide array of solar uses.

Cutting open and expensive battery. Glad he's doing it because there is now way I'd ever do that.

awesome stuff...  makes me want to run out and buy another one!

I've heard his complaints about FLA's and I don't argue about lithiums being better but I really wonder what his applications are. I'll go to lithium when my current AGM's die but I don't expect that to be for many years yet and they meet my needs just fine. The only reason I could see going swapping out to lithiums early is if weight is a big issue or your charging conditions are such where the faster charging time is critical.

If you have good AGM's then by all means, use them!  I bet the dual 6v Rolls 275AH batteries in my last camper will run for a decade or more if the new owner cares for them well.   I went with Battleborn in my "new" camper for the fast charge and smaller size.

Great review!

i switched over to Battle Born about a year ago and have been very happy.

Good review. And one heck of a price tag!
