LifePO4 vs sealed acid battery......LVD

And there ya go...a ten-twenty year battery.
Just get a proper charger for it, cuz you don't want to trickle a LFP.

Worth noting - the Meanwell chargers don't re-boost. Which might be fine if you're going to manually reset it when/if it gets used.
I'm not that familiar with the victron IP ones. There may be other options. You don't need a high-current charger for a standby battery. A 10A would be fine. But it needs to terminate charge when reaches your full setting - likely at about 14.2V or so. They're full then and need to stop charging. You could float at 13.4V to maintain, wouldn't hurt it.

OK, fair enough
When I look on Amazon, each battery have reviews going from "Awesome" to "junk"......!
I see more batteries under $300 now, or more "well known" (Chins, Li Time, Redodo, Weize) with coupons.
But all of them have reviews ranging from 5 stars to 1
So what would be a good pick in the $300 range? Cheaper is always better, but I don't want to buy a piece of crap to save $30 bucks
Does anyone have ever heard of "Goldenmate" batteries?
