In January of this year we went from 420 AHr of AGM to 300 AHr of LI.
Changed nothing else...Same solar (1050 watts) Same solar controller (80 Amp mppt).
Biggest difference are:
1. saved 170# of weight
2. voltage drop througout discaherge is much more level and higher.
3. Had to re-program the solar controller for LI
4. Now turn off the converter at home and let the solar do all the maintain.
I went with BattleBorn after seeing some youtube videos of their manufacturing processes and seeing one of their batteries disassembeled.
Based on my experience so far I am not sorry for the change :B

5. Your bank account is $2,550 lighter
Prices have come significantly down...With a little shopping (and applying a discount) got my 200amp/hr drop in, fused cylindrical cell with BMS for about $1,400...
So far I’ve been managing the charging just fine using the tried but true PD 9245 with charge wizard (in boost mode), or the 440w of solar... Recharges uber fast from either source, though I have no need whatsoever to exploit the full 100% SOC parameter ...
