I've got the upgrade bug. I want to replace my current two 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries with a new one (or two?) 460Ah batteries. I'm looking hard at either LiTime or Epoch brands. While more expensive, I'm drawn to the Epoch brand for its easy connectivity to Victron gear. I'll also replace my ~1500 inverter with a Victron 3000W inverter. I may add a couple more flexible solar panels to the roof of my trailer. There are already two 190W rigid panels up top.
I'm posting this for a couple reasons. I'll happily read and consider anyone's advice and or suggestions concerning my intention; I'm also wondering what I should/could do with the two 100Ah batteries that came with my trailer. Off hand, I don't know what brand they are (the trailer is in storage about 40 miles away). They're ~3 years old. I've considered possibly mounting them and the 1500W inverter in the bed of my RAM 1500, but I'm also wondering if I should just sell them all?
Why upgrade, you ask? Well, my son, DIL, my wife and I are looking forward to boondocking for more than a couple days. Being able to use the AC while boondocking is very attractive.
Thoughts? Opinions? Warnings? Attaboys?
Thanks,
Michael
