I came across these Youtubes. Seems interesting. I like the high current test in the second video.

Johan on RAN II is just about to upgrade his batteries and has some logical well thought out ideas.

I'm in the market for a new battery bank and you certainly have me thinking. Thanks for that!!!!!

I always thought that a lithium bank was out of my reach but now??????????????

I currently have 780Ah of AGMs (useable = about 400Ah) but 280Ah of lithium might just do. I could always get another 4 batteries and have a massive 560Ah - a lot of boat $$ though!! I only got 5 years out of my AGMs but they were only cheapies.

USD$800 ex China for 4 LF280Ks (LF280: 3500cycles compared to the LF280K: 6000cycles) but still waiting on other quotes.

This is cheaper than replacing with AGMs but I have to get a Battery Monitoring System & HEAPS more research!!
