I've been thinking about it! I have 8 130ah 3.2v cells (that makes 260ah @ 12v) that I've pulled out of my electric car. These cells no longer support the current I need in the car (500a or so), but are more than adequate for the 5-10a that I need in my trailer. It's sort of a longer term project for me since I have more important things at the moment, but I will be installing them eventually. ๐
These cells cost me over $1000 when I bought them, so obviously it would not be cost effective in this application. But since I already have them now... why not experiment?
btw, they weigh 9.7 pounds each, so 260ah @ 12v would weigh under 80 pounds. And that's about 200 usable ah's, none of this 50% discharge limit stuff. The equivalent of 200 usable ah's in lead would be more like 240 pounds (four T-105's).
(edited cause I had some of my numbers wrong from memory)

You missed Chevy Volt fires. And it is only the 787!

Thank You for the correction..
I keep forgetting Chevy makes the Volt. or the Volt is a car.

Lots of misinformation out there about LiFePO4 batteries. That's one of the problems. There are quite a few of live aboard boaters using them for a couple years now and really pleased with them. These are not the cobalt based batteries in the Boeing aircraft that had problems. These are actually newer technology and very safe.
It is possible to put together a LiFePO4 system of comparable AH for about the same cost as AGM batteries.
Please, tell us how we can get Lithium for the price of AGM!
Pliz do!..:@
