Adding Solar and LifePo4 to Winnie View 2014J model. I am going to replace 2 - Group 27 LA batteries but want to keep them in the same location (under the steps). My area to work with is 7-3/4" wide by 22" long. I believe I can fit 2 - Lifepo4 batteries in place of those if I build with 4 - EVE230 cells. I would end up with a battery that has these dimensions: 6.85" w by 8.48" long by 8.05" high. I would like to find a battery box or enclosure that would accommodate these cells. I will end up with 2 batteries of 230ah each and would wire them in parallel to keep my output at 12v. (same as the stock LA batteries). This will give me aprox. 460ah of LifePo4 batteries in the same area that I originally had only 160ah of LA batteries. I will use 3 - 215w solar panels mounted flat on my roof to charge with.
Does anyone know of a battery box that will accommodate these cells (it cannot be over 11" long)? What BMS would you recommend for each battery? What solar charger would you recommend I look at?
I will also add a transfer switch, smart charger, and a dc-dc charger to protect my alternator.
Thank you,
Steve
