There are those that say yes and others would say you really need to have correct charger and back up systems to get the best out of it.
I personally having done this myself would favour having the second option as I know it all works fine and I feel was worth the extra expense

I have 2 in my Burstner, fitted last March 2023..

As above I fitted 2 just over a year ago with Victron shunt and 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter boils a low wattage kettle no problems. I also fitted an isolation switch so that they can’t be charged at extreme low temperatures.

headlight · 2025-01-27T12:11:00+0000

I fitted an Ecoworthy 280AH, no Bluetooth or heater, and a shunt to monitor it into my friends van about 3 months ago.
He stays in the van every weekend and has had no problems with the battery.

Pardon our interruption...

It was one of these types of posts that made me rethink replacing 2 dead banners with gel ended up with 100ah LiFePO4. The £600 barrier had just been broken. After 5 yrs its still enough and doing its job even though naysayers were saying cant be any good if less than £800.

I bought a 280Ah for the van but at present am using it to help power the house. works well

Affinite said:

Appears to be.That is a good price for the 100Ah & unfortunately I cannot get it below 209€ here.

I can't find that (the battery mentioned in the OP) on their website.

I can find a 100Ah battery for £199. But the recommended charger is only 10amp, which partly defeats the benefit of going liFePO4.

Have I missed something?

" It would seem the information on the Eco Worthy site is somewhat contradictory when recommending a 10amp charger.

High Charging Speed: Eco-Worthy's 100ah LiFePO4 battery can reach 80% of power after one-hour charge, Under the same condition, the lead acid battery can only reach 20%. In the case of limited charging time, choosing a lithium battery can get enough energy faster, Recommended battery charger: 12v 10A charger."

If someone can explain how to change the link from "PARDON MY INTERUPTION" i will change it..
Seem's everytime i add an external link it puts in that phrase.

No. I do not click on posted links. I go direct to the website.
Besides, the link lights up as fleabay, not Ecoworthy..

No idea why it always changes the link to that "pardon my interuption" Jim might be able to advise.

I think that's because the 10A charger is the one they sell.

It looks like it's maximum sustained charge is 100A.

How do fleabay change what is on your website . That is worrying.

Many business sell entirely through eBay. It provides them with a shop front with plenty of traffic, all the customer facing IT systems, sorts out the payment shenanigans, provides some legal protection... Amazon offer similar services. For many types of goods, it's far more economical to use these third parties than set up your own.

Unfortunately (for customers), it is not always obvious who is selling what, (eg why is this battery so cheap on fleabay, but not on their own website.

My view is that Amazon is very different.

Reallyretired · 2025-01-27T15:00:24+0000

Very recently replaced my gel battery, which cost more than this and weighs a ton.

tonka · 2025-01-28T09:55:31+0000

UPDATE....

Looks like they have amended price on this now and back to £152..

I fitted their 280Ah battery along with Victron EHU charger, Smart Shunt and 50A B2B recently.

I certainly notice the difference in available capacity, it's like I have dragged my older 2009 Kon-Tiki in the modern world. The most we have done is 3 nights "off-grid" and I didn't see it's capacity drop below 50% (and there was no sun for the solar to do much at all) and despite using our Victron 1200 Inverter several times (Mrs CueBall and her hair straighteners plus our E-Bikes).

I wanted to stress the battery, to see what it could really do, so we were watching 12v telly every night, had the radio going, lit up the inside like an Xmas tree etc - I could see it discharging via the smart shunt, but it didn't go below 50%.

Driving home, it was happily sucking up all 50Amps from the B2B (minus a few amps for the fridge).

My biggest concern was that it dipped to -5c outside one night - Their batteries don't have internal heaters and my battery box is underslung with no insulation, so I thought it would shut itself down but it didn't. It just kept going - Although they state it cuts off at -7c and it didn't quite get that cold. It does only say the charging cuts off at -7c, it doesn't mention discharge oddly.

So, I am very happy with it so far...

LFP batteries can safely discharge at lower temperatures. -20C I think? So low enough to not have to worry. It's only charging below zero that upsets them.

Even at £152 each, that is still extremely good against SLAs & GELs.

I don't have room for 6 x 100A, hence going for 2 x 305A.

Like you Steve, I have no Bluetooth or built in heaters as I didn't see the need for them, what with being internally stored plus the installation of a Victron Smart Shunt.

I did however go for for the Drift Eco 305s rather than the Ecoworthy 230s for size, as although similarly priced at the time, I was concerned about how possible warranty issues would be dealt with a few years down the line, hence opting for Fogstar. Plus, 2 x well respected Funsters in these matters, buy much (if not all) of their LiFeP04 battery building components from Fogstar, due to their quality and reliability.

Cheers,

Jock.
