Battleborn on sale

[Joe Hogan]

I have some experience with LiFePO4 batteries in the CanyonStar. When we had the Solar installed three years ago, we additionally installed two 300 Amp LiFePO4 packs from LifeBlue. These Packs have self contained Battery managers (BIM) so this use case might not be directly comparable to BatteBorn.
We did have a BIRD fail last year but not sure if that was due to these batteries. Replaced the BIRD with a standard BIRD.
Our experience has been very positive, no issues and plenty of electrical power.
Are they worth the cost, for me; the lack of needed maintenance (watering and corrosion mitigation) , substantially more useful power and weight savings, up to 50%, was worth it to me.

Yea… I agree about the money… It is why I am trying to decide between buying 6 and 8.
Don’t think of the money you are spending, but the money you are saving! ?

And the corrosion is really the biggest reason… I am really done with it.

And although I have 8 GC2s today, and 6 lithium’s would provide more AH’s then what I have, the temptation to go for 8 is also there….

BTW, the lithium BIM is also on sale. $172.

As an Escapee member Battleborn sold me the Lithium BIM for $150.
