Walmart Renogy battery
The price on Amazon for that 170ah lithium shows (on my end) to be $1499 from some 'other' seller.
The price for the 170ah on Walmart.com shows $980 and change.
If I didn't already have a 100ah BattleBorn I'd probably be all over that deal, especially with my 10% discount.
So far, I like the BattleBorn but I have only been using it for mainly light and medium duty loads, and it gets replenished soon after, using mainly solar. I ordered a Bioenno 10A wall charger for it...when it arrives I will be hooking that up and seeing what's what.
I'm impressed with the ability this BattleBorn has to accept whatever charge source is feeding it.
The new Renogy solar controller with LI settings and the 100watt PV panel loaded to full amperage (5 to 5.5 amps) at about 13.3v finishing off quickly at 14.2-14.4v, bringing it back up to 14.4 (my set point) and then I watch the incoming amps drop essentially to near zero as the PV voltage recovers to around 20-21 or so, as it all should since there is no float mode with LiFePo4.
The new trailer is now equipped with 2 lead-acid house batteries (180ah) on the 'house circuit', and this one 100ah BattleBorn on the 'radio and inverter' circuit.
I still have some work to do, installing cables and connectors for the radio equipment and antennas, but things are looking good so far.
