Which lithium battery - advice please.

[joeytouring]

I have decided to take the plunge and invest in a 100Ah lithium battery. I have narrowed it down to three suppliers:

£409 https://uk.renogy.com/pro-12v-100ah-deep-cycle-lithium-iron-phosphate-battery-w-bluetooth/ - do I really need heating for being in the south of the UK?
£329.99 https://azeco.co.uk/product/lithium-battery-lifepo4-100ah/ - I like this one because it has bluetooth and says the manufacturer of the cells. Is battery monitoring useful and does the manufacturer of cells really matter?
£219.99 https://uk.eco-worthy.com/products/lifepo4-12v-100ah-lithium-iron-phosphate-battery - this looks good because it is very cheap - is it really worth spending a bit more?

Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.

The DC House ones seem identical to the Eco-worthy. They were £189 recently. The Fogstar Drift Eco are £220 and seem similar, if not the same.

The thing I'd be looking for is one that can do 100 Amps rather than the cheapo ones that only do 50 Amps.

Fogstar have a UK presence and good customer service the others are just drop shopped from China.

The standard Drift is a better battery with built in heater and uses better cells (EVE) and longer warranty the 105ah is £369.
I have 2x 230ah Dirift very pleased with them.

Another thumbs up for RogerIvy & nigelivy at Offgrid Power Solutions they bent over backwards to make sure I had all the parts and information I needed to install my Lithium System in time for our current 90 days in Scandinavia. Two Fogstar Drifts, Victron XS B2B, Victron Inverter & cables and fuses etc. The system is fantastic an absolute game changer. Another shout out to Fogstar who found out that they didn’t have the second 230ah Fogstar Drift that Nigel had arranged for me to pick up at the Fogstar unit when I arrived on the way to Norway. So they upgraded me to 2x280ah free of charge so our holiday wasn’t spoiled. Great customer service. The Fogstar Drifts were essential for me as I have an external battery box and often travel in winter so the built-in heaters were essential.
