I have extra batteries in the wheel wells but there not wired into the system..Each one serves a purpose for things like the TV /DVD /Compressor fridge and odds and ends...When I had two group 27 batteries in my last rv,I didn't really have any issues but one just isn't enough for my uses...I rely on generator assistance to keep my one group 27 above the 50% just for normal use..it came with a group 24 but a 27 fits..I use a Noco 10 and another smart charger to charge my external batteries,so when the gen is running,most batteries are charging...I have 200 watts of portable solar but I need a controller to use it to charge my 12v batteries..
Just thinking if I had a 100ah lifepo4 it would theoretically be like two group 27 batteries if I ran it to 0% which I would never do..I doubt my Les Schwab battery is a 100ah battery anyway,but it was my only choice at the time...There are a couple lifepo4 in the $500 range that are getting good reviews I have been thinking about and why this post asking....
Another issue is I am not sure I want to put any more money into the camper itself like upgrading the power center ,I can take the lifepo4 out when and if I sell it and my solar is portable..
