Go Power! vs. Battle Born Lithium Batteries

[Marie123]

Hello, I am scheduled to have a 19 built next year, and I am trying to decide what to do regarding the batteries. I know I want lithium and had hoped the new option would include Battle Born… but alas it is Go Power. I am not familiar with Go Power batteries at all- I’m really only familiar with the Battle Born brand. Are the Go Power brand lithium batteries decent/comparable to the Battle Born brand? I will be full-timing, primarily boondocking, so I want to make sure I have the most solid solar system that I can. I plan to get 2-4 batteries.

Would it be worth my while to just skip the lithium batteries with ETI and purchase/install my own Battle Born batteries when I pick up my camper? Or, are the Go Power batteries just as good in terms of longevity, performance, safety, and overall quality?

Thank you all so much for your help!

No idea on the quality of GoPower lithium batteries, but their solar systems & inverters are high quality equipment, and conservatively rated.

It seems likely that Go Power is just the distributor, and that another company is building these batteries and putting the Go Power name on them.

It's likely that none of the lithium batteries sold for RV use contain either cells or battery management systems which are actually made by the company which assembles them.
