can this possibly be true? 150 amp hours $46.51 cdn

PT thanks for the update. So is the RV stuck in the States?

I just did a major job on the roof of our C and had all the solar off to do that. Only put back the 275w panel, so have three 100w panels doing nothing for now--don't need them on the TC. 275w is enough for what we do nowadays. (Yes, you can have too much solar! :) )

Hope it all works out for your situation eventually. Agree that Covid problems are not over by a long shot so "stay safe" still applies. Be good if we can get back to "normal".

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.

it could be possible, you can reduce the cost of batteries by up to 80% probably on grade A cells if you reduce shipping enough and get a big enough volume discount.

Per BFL, “PT why are you still looking at LFP’s??”

Though LFP’s are not for everyone, my sense is that PT has had a bit more time to weigh his options and consider their advantages against their potential cold weather disadvantages… I did the same (i.e. during neighbors camper LFP build and testing…), and is always what one needs to do - no harm in this whatsoever, JMHO

How is this possible?

If you came across that link on a Facebook page or it was suggested to you by Facebook, it is possible because paid ads are nearly impossible to nuke on Facebook.

It is an out and out scam, more often you will see ads for those little tractor trailer movers at 10 or 25% of the true price, they too are scams.

Crooks are not stupid, they are just lazier than the rest of us, they don’t get out of bed in the morning and go to work. They just steal. The crooks have discovered that if they buy ads on Facebook it takes days if not weeks for the reviewer‘s to see the complaints and pull down the ads, by which time the scammers and your money are long gone.

It's a website offering a price that is 90% less than any other that lists no physical address for the company and the only contact info is a Gmail account with a gobbledygoop name. Good way to lose not only your $46.51 cdn but have your card compromised as well. I didn't see a link offering Saskatchewan oceanfront estates for $500 a month, but if you ask they will probably take your deposit.
