Where to buy a Lithium Battery?

[davidathomas42]

Just been googling them and prices are jumping off the screen at £1200ish for a 200ah one

My current battery is a Banner 100/110ah which is neatly hidden under the floor in the lounge area.

I want to just lift that out and drop in a lithium same size so I fully fill the space for max available power.

I am looking at all the other stuff which I posted in another thread re solar and chargers etc

Just thought quick question. What price should I / could I pay for one and from where?

Pictured below is the Banner 95751
Length 354mm
Width 175mm
Height 190mm

Yes, but not on batteries.

Just stuck a couple of the Aolithium 100 amp ones in mine, the company seems to be tied in with Amazon according to what is written on the user manual, the Bluetooth app gives information on charge, discharge, temp and other things but is not configurable. But for the price £249.00 thought worth a try.

Fogstar don't do offers on lithium leisure batteries, but I've noticed the batteries have came down a little since last year. I've had one fitted for 6 months it's been fantastic others on here have fitted them and rate them.

Another vote for Fogstar Drift.

 

[Roger S]

Another vote here for Fogstar, I've had mine about a year now it's excellent

I have 2 100ah ecotree after winning a competition on here.

No complaints from me, they have been amazing!

Fogstar £1200 for 460ah

Am I right in thinking because I can run the 460AH lithium all the way down I’m essentially getting up to X8 more capacity than my current acid battery?

If so holy sh1t

 

[Tombola]

NO Not to Zero, down to 10% at best, zero is not good and will trigger under voltage (under what the set low voltage cut off is) 10.5 v I think
This is done to protect the battery from damage. If the battery were to continue to operate below 10.4V, it could be permanently damaged.

this may be handy

I have the 460ah it has been very good

You can run them down to 11v ish with mild unbalanced cells. Proper balanced cells can go down to 10.5v without any hiccups or any negative effects.

I fitted a Fogstar drift 6 months ago powered by 2 x 140 watt panels throu MPPT controller set to lithium. We’ve been delighted with the results. . Never needed EHU.

I have fitted a 300a Fogstar Drift Pro recently and it’s great it comes with a plug in ballancer that you are advised to use every few months if required, with additional equipment you can become fully self sufficient without the need for EHU

2 x 280ah Fogstar Drift fitted here, the batteries are brilliant, the app has mild discrepancies so fitted a Victron 500a shunt so the monitoring is more accurate

I’d def recommend the batteries though no question

 

[hja]

We like our ecotree battery
