Change to Lithium-ion?
In the Hot Rod world, there is a movement to the Lithium-ion battery as an alternative to the old lead-acid type. Looks like performance is superior, but so is the price. Has anyone changed eith...

I am awaiting delivery of 200 ah of these batteries for my Class B. They come with BMS and mounting terminals.

They said all my wiring and charging systems will work. I have a PD4635.
I only have room for 1 lead acid battery of 105ah. So I should have much more amps to use 80% of 200 = 160, vs 50% 0f 105= 52. They're supposed to charge faster and better so I will not be adding to my 120 watt portable solar panel. My only concern is Using it in the 1st week of December can be cold. This is their reply:
Our LiFePO4 battery working temperature is -20 to +60 Degree C for discharging, and 0 to 60 Degree C for charging, -10 to +45 Degree C for stock. And we have done testing at -20 Degree C, the result should make sure battery have 60% more capacity under this condition.
I hope my Trimetric meter will give good info on it's status.
I emailed with the factory to meet my small battery size for 200ah and they came up with a set. They had me buy through Alibaba (a first) for $1,400.
I spend at least 30 days snowbirding in FLA without hookups and some here in Michigan.
