Last year I built my own battery box and used a Weize 50ah LiFePO4 battery. I use this box to power my fridge along with charging electronics like phones, computer, headlamps etc. I pair it with a 140w folding solar panel. This combo does great and allows me to run the fridge and everything else indefinitely with solar, or 2-4 days without any solar or DC to DC charging.
However a lot of the Chinese companies that sell the cheaper batteries on Amazon are coming out with 100ah mini batteries. These are about the same size as the regular 50ah batteries but twice the capacity.
I decided to upgrade (can never have too much power) and went with the Grenerpower 100ah mini. It was $210 on sale from Amazon and the smallest 100ah I could find. This one is actually the exact same size as the Weize 50ah. In fact the case I think is the same between the two.
I’m going to be doing some testing with it but theoretically I should get double the run time for the same size battery, although it is a bit heavier.
