PT, why are you still looking at LFPs? You are supposed to be getting a bunch of SiO2s last heard. I see Azimuth still has 37 of the 50 they got before Xmas, and no drop in price. Noted where you said there is a deal on getting 50. Hmmmm. Shelf life happening!

We don't even know if you have your RV back home yet. Are you in fact going to join the Rv Down South and get LFPs for it?

What is really going on? We deserve to know! Bated breath of the multitude wanting answers. :)

Hi BFL13,

No Li batteries in my future. The RV has been in storage for 17 months, and will be there for some time. So there is no great rush for me to get anything. I'm considering 1400 watts of solar. The existing batteries are in usable shape, so I may do solar first.

I don't think I'll be doing any of the upgrades I wish to do until summer of 2022. The USA border is still closed to land traffic. As the D variant spirals out of control, and vaccinations are simply not happening, I may not be going south again this year--at least not by RV.

3tons,

If I could find a true cold weather Li at an identical or lower cost per cycle as SiO2 I would consider it. But that means it needs to be usable without heaters at -40. So far that is only Lithium Titinate--at about 4 times the cost per cycle. SiO2 are a better choice for me.

As Mex is fond of saying "every thing now comes with a life time guarantee". SiO2 will outlast me.

If I do upgrade solar it may be best to redo the roof membrane first.
