“Bargain” 100ah mini LiFePo4 batteries

[RKRUGER]

Does anyone have any real world experience with these smaller form factor batteries as a house battery for a smaller fridge? I put a 27f X2Power AGM (92ah, 190 reserve) in my 2006 UZJ100 and it has been rock solid as a single battery system operating my ARB Classic 50l for the last 3 years. I can regularly get 30 - 48 hours of operation without topping up w solar or starting the LC. But with the low cost of these smaller form factor LiPo coming in the market, I am tempted to give up some side wing storage space in my ARB drawer set to mount a house battery.

Here are two options I have been exploring.

And

Both have a built in BMS, though the leas expensive of the two is the only one that lists low temperature protection, something I may want here in Minnesota.

I’ve been following this thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/2022-kiss-dual-battery.1293842/ on Mud and with the tech advances, seems to be a game changer.

I have the mini Redodo 12v 100Ah. Smallest size of any 100Ah so far. Ive been happy with it. Have tested its capacity 3 or 4 times now from 100% down to zero/shutoff, have always gotten the full 1280Wh, or slightly more. Not super accurate measurement granted, as I use it to refill my Pecron e1500LFP powerstation, so my measurement is just the % power display on the pecron start to finish... but it appears to be working well after 9 months. I like having a small, 1280Wh expansion battery for my powerstation, that I can toss in the car in any small corner.

Thanks @Dave in AZ for the input. With Prime Days here’s what I ordered today

100Ah Mini

I figure I can’t go wrong at that price… unless it burns down my rig.

I have one of these, and I really like it for the metal build quality and heater. It is a lot bulkier, though. Those little ones are cool
