Switch to LIFePO4?
I have a trio of Rolls Surrette FS210 wet cell batteries that give me about 315 AH of usable capacity. My big concern is weight, the total is 400 lbs in my from compartment of the 5er, and I think tha...

So, in additional conversations with the company owner (offering the 300AH units), he suggests that when wiring the units in parallel, I would actually be doubling the C factor (if the spec on one battery is 100A continuous, then in parallel it is 200A, if I parallel 4x100AH units, it would be 400A continuous). 200AH would give me comfortable margin if true at .5C, even if not meeting .2C (for that I guess I would need to go to a bigger bank, which isn`t in the cards). Typical limited use for me would put me slightly below .3c (=180A) which seems reasonably close enough.
I share the concern on low temp charging, but in reality we never camp beyond Canadian Thanksgiving (mid-Oct) and it`s rare to get down that low (-20C) at that time of year. The Relion LT units have build in heating, waiting for pricing on those...
