We have a newish 100w solar panel via a Victron mppt 75/15. Our van panel is a Sargeant 328 which charges our Yuasa L36-EFB 100ah, we also use a Vanbitz battery master.
When we are away, a lot of the time we are on EHU so no problems. We occasionally spend 4 or 5 days without EHU and we need a little more than the existing 100AH battery can give us before it drops to 12.3v and 50% DOD.
When parked at home the solar keeps the battery topped up easily even in the depths of winter so we never use EHU.
I'm thinking of getting a Fogstar Drift 100AH battery which now recommends a charging voltage of 14.4v.
I don't want to go to the expense of B2B and the rest, does anyone think I'll have any problems with what I'm proposing.
Thanks
 
I have no idea, but I'm interested to hear the various opinions.
 
I have 200watts of old solar panels through a Victron MPPT. This is sufficient (not in Winter) for the current 300ah of wet acid batteries to go into float mode by about 2pm according to the Victron app. So switch the 3 heavy lead lumps for Fogstar LIPO and I am expecting similar performance, perhaps faster recovery as LIPO can accept higher charge going in?
