I used to say itinerant1 could have done equally well with 500 AH of AGMs by swapping them out as required. Now it is not so clear.
The difference now is that he is taking advantage of the LFP high draw ability to run his air conditioner.
It may be that the AGM option would only do that at higher SOCs while the LFP will at lower SOCs
That and the shifting money side where replacement AGMs are going up in price is tilting the balance for his scenario IMO.
How it plays out for recent RV LFPers will not be known for several years yet whether their LFPs were worth it vs another five years or so with another set of FLAs.
considering a 80AH agm is over 450.00 bucks up here, and have been for over 4 yers now, I wouldnt say there was much of a cost risk. two of thoes in my camper would give me 160AH total for about 1K including taxes.. for 900 I did 300AH of LFP, droped from 130 to 49lbs, and was able to put it in the original battery space for the old camper freeing up my outside storage space which was taken up by the GC2's
