Victron Energy just released a new 200ah lithium battery that is 6.00" x 9.33" x 12.63". As far as I can tell this is much smaller than other lithium batteries out there. So I can fit three (600ah), even four (800ah), of these things in my current battery compartment. Also the Eagle Cap 1160 and 1165 has a hidden space behind a wall next to the cadaver drawer in the rear compartment to fit a 3,000 watt inverter. So I get all this off grid capability without losing any storage. Pretty amazing! But it will be pricey.

Looks interesting. It shares the same case as their 150ah battery. I don't think they are using different technology so they must have found a better way to compress the components like the wiring, cells and BMS board. Hopefully heat dissipation won't be affected. If memory serves Victron has a proprietary BMS system that can control multiple batteries to work together. Something most drop ins don't so if you go that route you may want to invest in complete system, solar charger, inverter charger, color control panel etc. to optimize the performance and convenience of use.Yes they are pricey but you will have a very nice system. Our battery bank resides in the compartment where the generator would have been had we ordered it. That was large enough for 600ah bank of (24) 3.2v/100ah cells.

800 LI Ah is probably equivalent to 1300 FLA Ah.

Upfront lithium decisions are tough since experts indicate that you should not add new batteries to an existing bank, so the right choice needs to be made before you really know. I have 570 watts of solar, to which I do not want to add, since I need room on the roof for kayaks, gravity chairs and such. My analysis indicates that I can get by with 300ah of lithium for everything but air conditioning. And even with this I would have about two hours of AC.So do I want to spend the extra dollars for AC? Unlike work2much, I still have my generator, so overloading on solar/lithium is not as critical. But it is sure tempting to buy the big system knowing that, with these small batteries, I can fit it without disrupting storage.
