Does the Anderson plug on an Ark Pak 715 charge through the smart charger portion? Or does it hook directly to the battery itself?
Of do you have to use the 12V to 12V power pack?
I like the idea of using the Anderson plug to connect the Ark Pak directly to the chassis battery.

Anyone using the ArkPak 730 with a Lithium Ion battery? I've been using a 50-lb Odyssey PC-1500T but have been thinking about switching to a 100 ah LiFePO4 since the prices have come down slightly. However, I no longer see anything about Lithium Ion compatibility on the ArkPak website. Were there problems?
Edit a few hours later: I hope not...because I just got a helluva price on a 100ah Lithium Ion battery from Battle Born Batteries in Nevada. It should be here Thursday. It will have much more capacity and be substantially lighter than the Odyssey. The Battle Born battery was shipped within an hour of ordering and I even got a call from a guy at the company. He said they call everyone who orders one of their batteries. I probably spent 15 minutes on the phone with him. He had gone so far as to research the ArkPak to see if it met the charging requirements and, after checking the ArkPak connectors, he also sent the bolts I will need to connect the battery.

Wow, great customer service! A friend brought that battery company to my attention a few weeks ago. Prices are really attractive and the amount of info on their website was really helpful. Your experience is also great to hear. Please keep us in the loop on how things are going with this LiFePO4 battery + the ArkPak!

The Battle Born battery fits perfectly in the ArkPak...almost like the ArkPak was designed for it. The ArkPak cables need to be tucked into the indentation in the lid of the enclosure in order to latch the lid. The previous Odyssey battery that I had in the ArkPak had a lot of room to bounce around.

DC to DC charging question for Ark Pak 730
Can I charge a Ark Pak 730 DC to DC while having it plugged into my fridge? I was about to purchase your DC to DC charging kit and then read that it is not compatible with your 715 and 730 models.

I haven't seen any signs that house-bank sized LFP pricing is declining.
Maybe the overpriced infrastructure will get more sensible, but bare cells will likely stay steady.
To me Firefly Oasis is the way to go for these, handles PSOC abuse fine, down to 20% SoC fine, $500 for 100+ AH
And a lot less fussy/risky than LFP.

For one, the Firefly battery will not fit in the ArkPak. And second, the primary reason I went with the Lithium battery was weight. The Battle Born 100ah battery is 29 lbs. The Firefly battery is 74 pounds. No thanks. I have now seen 2 companies selling sub-$1000 100ah Lithium batteries.

Hello. Does Brett still check in on this thread? I have been trying to order a DC/DC charger with no luck or feedback from Ark Pak. I have called and emailed, but have only heard radio silence. Mine fried last year and I waited until now to get a new one.

Don't bother. I had one replaced under warranty and when that one went bad they wouldn't replace it again. I went on Amazon and got a higher amperage rated 12vv to 24v converter and it has been flawless for the last couple of years. Also for only $35.
