Ecoworthy lithium batteries

[Jimbohorlicks]

I had an ecoworthy advert pop up in my e mails and for example a 100ah lithium battery is £279.99 less a £10 introductory reduction.

I rechecked the website in Spain and the same battery is 249.99 euros which equates to circa £219

I am tempted to order a couple through the Spanish website.

Any one have any comments re the ecoworthy batteries.

....looking at the companies reviews, they are not very well regarded it seems. :/

What is SOC you all talk about? State of Charge? If so why are you all so keen to keep your eye on that? Do you have to stop charging when full or something?

Ideally lithium doesn't want to be kept at full charge all the time, unlike lead acid.
It can degrade the battery over time, but my attitude is...what's full charge, if I have my victron putting in and even only a tiny trickle going out, say my usb blue indicator light, and my control panel switched on then that's a drain however small.

Eco.worthy have had some bad press lately

Cheers Tombola....i didn't see the extra page of posts. Just going through them now.

How much lighter are they compared to a lead acid. Any weight saving i can get away with in my miniscule payload van, is a winner.

Wow.... Just found this which suggests less than a 3rd of the weight of a lead acid..... is it really that much of a saving?

Yes, at least half

Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries do degrade a bit quicker if they are held at full charge for extended periods. But it's only a bit quicker, it doesn't kill them. It's still going to last many times longer than a lead acid. So personally I'm not bothered.

My 280Ah is slightly larger than the 95Ah I took out. And weighs about the same. Also remember that you're got nearly twice the usable capacity with a lithium (you can only safely use half a lead acid's rated capacity, but you can use almost all the energy in a lithium). So they are far more power dense than lead acid.
