[QUOTE="condor22, post: 628965, member: 1932"] Re Victron - My old van had a 15A Victron for the 200W of panels. It was originally set to an AGM profile, which had to be done via plugin to a laptop as it wasn't Bluetooth. When I changed over to the Lithium battery, my mate (supplier of the Battery and controller) reprogrammed the charge and float voltages of the Victron to a better lithium profile. Yes, weight isn't a factor for static installs, but if AGM, then more capacity is needed. I can safely draw up to 80% from my lithium 13 kg 100AH. To get the same output and give a reasonable cycle life, I'd need 200AH of AGM at around 60+kg. Given that a good quality AGM is around $400 = $800 for 2. For less than $200 more I got my Pylontech and more than double the cycle life of AGM. Larger initial outlay, but starts to look more economical in the long run.... :) [/QUOTE]
