Epoch 300AH

Hi stupid question, we are upgrading to LiFePO4 batteries and was interested in the Epoch 300AH battery, I presume this is a better way to go than 3 of the 100AH batteries in parallel?


The 300ah is also in a lot smaller foot print than 3 of their 100AH so not sure how they did that and if that should concern me?


thank you


Richard

Re: Epoch 300AH

You only have one battery, so if it dies that's it, whereas the other way you may still have two serviceable ones depending on what failed. That's why I like twin engine boats.

There are 4 304AH EVE cells in series inside the case. Not a concern, IMO.

I installed two in parallel replacing 6 6 volt AGMs. Quite happy so far.

Re: Epoch 300AH

Look at some youtube videos that show you how to make a battery pack out of cells.

you will also nead a BMS for another $150 or so.
