LiFePO4 "Drop and Run"

[Bee Keeper Bob]

I have a Travato 16 K with two 100 watt AGMs that will replace with at least two 100 watt lithiums. Is the LifePO4 described in the book be a drop in replacement for my current AGMs? If not,what needs to be done to make the lithiums workable? My principal plan is to rid us of the noisey general. Th

Yes, drop in replacement for AGM's. Practically the same charge profile. They are made to work as a direct replacement.

I think you mean 100 amp hour batteries.

As a beginner, battle borns are the best. Great warranty and high quality. Every safety feature you will need. https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/lithium-batteries.html

So Will battle born doesn't make a 100ah 24v battery? I'm thinking on buying MPP all in one 24v system but want 100ah on my batteries or that doesn't matter on a 24v system?

 

[Will Prowse]

Oh right. Well you can put 2x 100ah 12v batteries in series for 100ah at 24v, or use 2x of their 50ah 24v batteries in parallel. Either way works

Ok which way would be better to have more storage on them?

2x100ah will have double the storage.

2x100ah will have double the storage.

And for me to make it 24v I need to put them in series right?

Correct, putting two batteries in series will double the voltage, so assuming you are using 12 volt batteries, you will end up with 24 volts. Sorry Will-wasnt' trying to step on your toes, just trying to help.

Just from my own preference, I would prefer to have two 24v, 50Ah batteries in parallel than have two 12v, 100Ah batteries in series. Either way you end up with 24v, 100Ah of storage.

Thank you guys! I think ill get 24v batteries and parallel them. Because the storage stay the same and I can hook more batteries on to easily
