Greetings!
This is my first post to this Forum. We currently have an old 24v 850Ah lead acid battery bank. I am intrigued by Lithium when I need to replace the battery bank and believe I have sufficient skills to build a 24v 1000 Ah replacement along with an increased PV Array.
When snooping around I saw there was a battery with “Y” - Yttirium (sp) in its chemistry which seems to provide more cycles and works better in cold climates; ie can charge batteries below 0C. Where we are we can expect -5C for a week or so and maybe 1 week might touch -10C.
So, is it worth considering this chemistry or just use the Generator if need be when cold?
