On reflection it seems better value to install a pure sine inverter and beef up the batteries - especially from a recharging point as we want to go back to spending lots of time off grid. Thanks for your responseIf you want a nice compact and easy solution then they look great.
I might be getting my maths confused but the battery capacity looks like about 160ah at 12v.
It isn’t cheap, but then it isn’t mega bucks either. It would happily charge a lead acid 100ah from 50% twice. As a backup it works.
It looks heavy though as expected with a big inverter and lithium battery in it.
If the garage is at the back it's the worst place to put a heavy object and I would have thought the cables ought to be pretty substantial on the 12 v side if there's a long run.I have also thought about using one of these in my motorhome, which only has a single leisure battery and no inverter.I thought it could be in the garage connected to a couple of extra sockets, and could charge in there from ecu when available, 12v or perhaps a dedicated additional solar panel. The econoflow delta range appeals as it supports 3 ways of charging and will also act as a UPS with 30msec changeover. They are heavy but lift able, and lighter than a minimum of two lead acid to give the same capacity.
More expensive though.
Adding a second or third leisure battery is not easy as as there is no space near the existing battery, both starter and leisure batteries are under drivers seat.
I believe the spec says 13.5 hours to charge from 12v so less than an amp.If the garage is at the back it's the worst place to put a heavy object and I would have thought the cables ought to be pretty substantial on the 12 v side if there's a long run.

It is at the back and in the overhang. It will be as far forward as possible. Unfortunately there is nowhere forward of the back axle available. My last mh had two lead acid batteries well behind the rear axle, which were heavier and no problem, however I still need to check the axle weights.If the garage is at the back it's the worst place to put a heavy object and I would have thought the cables ought to be pretty substantial on the 12 v side if there's a long run.
