"""You may get away with 1 100ah lfp battery because your in a van, rather small space.
Some of us that like a little more elbow room have a few more more lfp batteries not because we don't know what we're doing but we enjoy the conveniences without the need to fire up a generator. To each their own though. ;)"""quote
Something to think about , vans are really hard to insulate and so I have alot of heat loss ,, if I had more space such as a RV I could block off a certain section of inside of the RV to make a pretty much complete insulated box , I'm thinking that I could do that pretty easily and at that point the RV would be more efficient at keeping heat in then my van could ever be.
Just saying that there's no sense in heating a entire RV, waste of money , just like adding unnecessary batteries is more exspense.
Some people have a abundance of money and so it probably ain't a big deal to add a xtra $900 battery or heat a big space.
I do pretty good financially but the only reason I do is I run the numbers and keep my costs low.
The main reason I was talking against more then one battery is I was trying to prevent people from being scared away from lifepo4 thinking that they need to buy a bunch of batteries, I've seen many people demonstrating there RV electrical systems showing a bunch of lifepo4 batteries, i could see how those videos would scare people away .
You just don't need that many batteries to have all the modern conveniences and lifepo4 can be more affordable then lead acid.
I apologize for saying people don't know what there doing , bad on my part.
