More expensive than their normal price?
The net price is lower than their "normal" eBay price so still a saving. May be the ad meant "50% of their RRP".
I've just updated the ad title. Thanks for that.
Yep.. true. Just checked your eBay link. Inflated original price but $975 (post discount) is a good price at the moment for 12V lithium. I'm pairing it up with battery box and solar blanket for 4wd/camping. Top notch reviews on the unit.
What is this battery for?
Boats, rec campers, offroading…
I used to have a few lead acids but seeing as they weighed >40kgs each, I had one for the boat, the camper, etc…
The equivalent size in LiPO4 is around 10kg so I transfer it between vehicles. Economically, this makes it only slightly more expensive.
Does this power a house? $1,950 RRP seems outrageous.
I'll stick to throwing eneleoops under the hood.
120AH is nothing. It will be lucky to power the average fridge for a hour.
Would power for many days
What sort of a fridge would it power for days? I have 2x100AH 12v batteries in series to power a 24v to 240v inverter and it is lucky to power a large fridge for 30 mins before the batteries go below 50%.
@Mikerobertsn: Waeco pull on average about 4 amps with a maximum of 7.5A at 12 volt.
So if you do the numbers fridge will run for half an hour of every hour 12 hours *4=48 Amps per 24h.
So a lithium 120 amp hour battery has deep of discharge of about 80% so usable 100 amps.48 hours of run time with no charge.
@REDTUTE: Something severely wrong if that fridge uses 4A average over a long period of time. The spec is 0.7A.
@Mikerobertsn: On average camping fridges pull about 4a I use to have a Victron BMS in my camper trailer, you can measure amps and how many amp hours per day.
I'm not sure where fridge manufacturers pull those numbers from.
@videoman: So you running a normal large sized 240v AC fridge via invertor and wondering why it lasts 30 mins..
Plain wrong. My caravan has a 240v fridge powered by inverter hooked up to a 100AH battery. Uses 60AH a day. The initial draw is large but fridges don't use much to keep running.
In fact, using an inverter with 240v fridge has been shown to use about the same power if not LESS than a 12v fridge for better cooling. Not to mention gas powered which is incredibly expensive over time.
EDIT:It's not massive but a 157L Hisense. Bigger than most caravan bar fridgesWhats the daily consumption rate at 240 volts of your fridge (if you know)? I'm planning on doing that in a motorhome using this fridge - 0.254 kWh per day for 114 litres

@wfdTamar: I can't remember but it was written in the documentation. They'll often state the yearly consumption. I bought a power meter from Bunnings and my calculations from that, and I guess the subsequent battery use, were pretty close to the documentation.
But you may need a bigger inverter than you think because the initial power to start the fridge is quite high - 1000w+@Loracks: Using a Victron Phoenix 500 which I'm pretty confidant will do it as I've been talking to blokes on a UK motorhome forum that have done it in theirs and used that one. It's an A+++ rated fridge, only 39 dB and exactly right size to fit where the rotton old 3 way was fitted.
@wfdTamar: Can't go wrong with victron imho. The the inverter should be able to handle spikes double what they're rated so yeah, you should be fine.
Our Evakool runs an average under 1 amp per hour, to around 1.5 when we're using it for camping. A 120AH LiFePo4 can be discharged to around 90%, so that gives me 3 days.
AGMs can only be discharged to 50‰, so the equivalent capacity would need to be 108AH/50% = 216AH.
Maybe 8-10 of these?
These are for camping. They have a recommended depth of discharge rate of 70%
What's better for this deal than this $569 120AH battery? https://www.extremebattery.com.au/products/12v-120ah-power-c…
Same putative RRP of $1750.
To be honest…I know nothing about lithium battery tech. I went with their reviews and what others on camping and 4wd Facebook forums are saying about this company. They have top notch service and reviews.. glowing Google reviews. So I went with that. Another mob that have excellent rep is "off-road living" with their allsparks lithium battery. But higher price ATM.
I have been mulling over this deal for a couple of days and struggling to find any real world positive reviews… the business has been around ages but still not sure this is not just generic chinese rebranded stuff that will die in a couple of years…
Had been looking around a 12V battery for my boat as well and I found their review is #$%#@

Hmm am interested in their other product with 30% off iTECH2000A Portable Jump Starter Backup Wireless Power Bank, 2000amp. Can jump start my vehicles and able to take on travel to charge my devices, considering they are under the 100WH limit to take on planes.
Lookup Rooboost, looks similar, smaller capacity, but only $112 on Amazon
Thanks, good price with good specs and good reviews. Guess I have to think if $60 difference is worth 10% more power and supporting locally R&D :-)
You sure they are local R&D? Seriously doubt that. Their solar panels are just rip off. https://youtu.be/Skfy0jSoerU
To be honest I'd be looking at lowenergydevelopments on ebay. They import but seem to have a good idea what they're doing. Usually about $600 for 100ah and they're active on fb
arent these in the low $1000 on ebay?
so not realyl 50% off
even cheaper in previous ebay history??
