Hello all !
I have some question concerning batteries LiFepo.
I project to replace our actual service lead batteries (6 year old still do the job) 24volts 620 amps.
And I hesitate between the maximum I can fit in the box (1000mm x 1100mm)
8 x Power Queen 200 amps Lifepo 230kgs 4288€
8 x Eco-Worth 280 amps 232 kgs 4476€
8 x Ultracell 220 amps lead Gel 512kgs 3200€
The difference off weight is not a problem...after it was in the box , could be one to move to the box The difference of price between a correct Lead Gel and "average" Lifepo is not so big.
But from our second boat (47 years ago) we never had trouble with our lead batteries we kept them 7/9 year.
When I read some testimonies for Lifepo some had big trouble.
Also my question : can I keep our actual system of charge (Victron, Cat alternator, Solar panel, ISolar SMV 3KW is a new 3KVA 2400w 24Vdc)
or adapt special equipment to charge the Lifepo batteries ?
On our former "Vietnamese baby" they fit the battery you can see on the (bad) photo, anybody know this brand ?
Thanks
