2003AF990 battery conversion from lead acid to LiFePO4

Hi, I'm still trying to figure out electrical systems, so bear with me as I'm really green with the dual use solar and batteries in RVs. Has anyone tried to fit a Big Battery 24V LiFePO4 batter...

24v sounds like a bad idea. Why not two 12v batteries in parralel instead?


I was thinking that it would be less expensive to wire as well as the LiFEPO4 battery is less than 2 12V LiFePO4 batteries - but it sounds like we should just stick to the 12 V setup as that's what the system is designed for originally and it would be the most straightforward seeing we are only looking at 400 Watts of solar currently. Thanks for the reply!
