    Heated Lithium / LifePo4 House batteries in Northern (cold) climates

    Heated Lithium / LifePo4 House batteries in Northern (cold) climates

    It is a cycle life question. If you are not cycling the batteries much then there is no justification for the extra cost of lithium. If you are cycle killing a lead acid within a few years, then lithium makes sense. It is all about your planned usage. There is also no justification for AGM...

    Bivystick?

    Redarc BMS 30, not for use in Cold temps

    It does. If you change any part that has electronics it needs to be calibrated and configured with the rest of the vehicle systems before it can be used. This can only be done with the proprietary Land Rover systems. If the system crashes and needs to reinstalled, what are you going to do...

    Wait until you get the BSOD!!! My real concern is what happens in 10, 15 or 20 years with these vehicles? There will be no software support and the hardware will all be obsolete.
