Question from Newbie - Aims Corp Lithium Battery

[gabe1475]

Hello,

New to solar and Lithium batteries for an RV, and had some questions before I move forward on my plans. I already have a 160w panel and a Victron charge controller (possibly expand to two panels if necessary - have low power requirements).

Question is related to the lithium battery that I plan to purchase :

12V lithium battery (aimscorp.net)

Anyone have experience with this manufacturer?

Another question I have is related to installation, are lithium batteries ok being installed in the battery box/original set up, or is it preferred to move all wiring to inside the RV? If better to move it, would like to understand the reasoning. I plan on storing inside during our brutal summers here in AZ. Any feedback is appreciated.

Do a search on this site. https://diysolarforum.com/threads/what’s-inside-of-an-aims-12v100ah-lifepo4-battery-have-a-look.4230/
I would recommend a different vendor based upon my experience.

Actually looks more like the Renogy offering.
