I'm considering the Epoch Essentials 460ah battery for a travel trailer were purchasing. The "standard" Epoch batteries seem to be fairly well regarded. I'm trying to determine if Essentials uses downgraded components, manufacturing, etc. or if they're similar in quality to other Epoch models, but just include fewer features (e.g. Victron comms, internal type-T fuse, additional terminals, etc.).
The travel trailer we're purchasing has 400w of solar on the roof, a port for a portable panel (yet to be purchased), Victron components (solar controller, DC-DC charger, smart shunt, etc.), 1500w inverter, compressor fridge.
The battery is on sale for $1,189 after discount on the Epoch website or $1,399 from Current Connected.
I'm a relative novice and would appreciate any experience that can be shared regarding the Essentials brand in general or this battery specifically.
Thanks!
