Will putting a 100ah Lifepo4 battery in a 1990 Lance with a single battery compartment work right?(picture below of converter/charger)It would basically double my house capacity from my currant Group 27 lead acid..
Will this work and charge completely..I think the answer to charging is it will not charge completely, but I am asking..
What issues would I have or would I?
Would I be better to use it as a standalone battery with a charger for Lifepo4 batteries?
Recommendations?
first thing is you will have to upgrade your power centre, are you handy? I did this in my 1991 slumber queen, went from the old glass fuses to a moderen intelli power power centre that has a jumper for Li batteries. I did go the lead acid bateries as I counverted the storage compartment into a battery compartment and was able to fit two GC batteries. if I would have realized how cheel the LiFePo4 cells have gotten I would have ordered 8 280ah cells and a BMS and put togeather my own 560AH battery for the camper that would have fit in the original battery box. but if your not handy that way battle born type set up is the next best option for saving size and weight. with the cell advancment these days you could probably get a much higher ah capacity than 100 to fit in there.
