Lithium 100AHr sub £200 vs Lead Acid?

[Jabstatt]

I notice Renogy has a sales campaign on for a 100 Amp Hour Lithium for £199. This must be very close or even below the cost of the equivalent lead acid alternative capacity.

Is this the big turning point?

Its amazing progress for the consumer, a challenge accepted for the industry.

Excellent price.

Be aware it needs a shunt for monitoring, no bluetooth..
A saw Ecoworth advertising their 100am bluetooth version for £269 so prices as certainly falling..

The Fogstar ones have fallen in price too. £219 and that is not on offer.

I am surprised by how far the price is falling. I suspect it will fall a bit more due to competition. All good news for us

Not surprisingly they are sold out

Positive point. Saves wasting money on bluetooth.

 

[Jabstatt]

I think a Bluetooth shunt is essential on a decent installation.
BMS only gives a rough guide to state of charge.

I agree that a shunt is very valuable on any installation, but bluetooth? .....

Give me a physical display every time.

 

[Jabstatt]

Bluetooth to VRM !

Remote monitoring in storage over winter.

GPS tracker(s) with GPRS

Remote monitoring of battery voltages, vehicle and battery temperatures, EHU status, vehicle startup and movement.

Oh! and did I mention GPS co-ordinates. and outside temperature.

 

[Jabstatt]

Exactly what I get on VRM!

Agree

And, no doubt, you have it all for the house, as well!

How do people manage without?

Mind you, I still prefer the physical display in the van
