Lithium recommendation

[Steved55]

Anyone give me sound advice please? Looking to replace existing AGM battery with lithium. Currently have 100Ah and don't forsee the need to upgrade this as no plans for inverter - just use lights, fridge and diesel heater. So looking around, there seems to be fogstar drift, renogy, ecoworthy
any recommendations welcome

Fogstar or Roamer. Both have UK support. Fogstar more value oriented, Roamer premium. Plenty of threads on here covering lifepo4 upgrades and what to lookout for.

I have 200 ah of eco-worthy batteries installed and I'm quite happy with them, the only thing is they don't have a built in heater so I installed a battery isolation switch to stop any charge below 5 degrees.

I upgraded mine with a 100A Renogy core. Has BMS with low temp protection. Also runs a 1000w inverter for a coffee machine. Fits under the passenger seat. Just check to make sure your charging system is suitable for lithium.

Anyone got any thoughts on the EcoWorthy 100AH with blue tooth and low temp protection? £230 seems a decent price for a lithium battery with blue-tooth

There's been a few threads on the Eco-worthy and I think the conclusion was it doesn't have proper low temp cut off.

EcoWorthy

Some discount on on eBay at the moment. I popped one in the bag this morning.

And at that price, you'd be better off with a Fogstar eco 100ah at £220 which has no bluetooth but does have a proper low temp cut off.

That seems cheap enough.

It also addresses the few concerns I had about the previous version of this (which I have cld)

That particular version has the low temperature protection and also the Bluetooth app.

I'm not looked at the specific specs in regards to the maximum discharge current but as a basic leisure battery to run small stuff it looks okay.

As above the fogstar is a known brand but the lack of features ie Bluetooth would be a deal breaker for myself .

I installed the Renogy 100ah last month and I’m very happy with. Except for the price dropping since I bought it.

I’ve got an Eco-worthy 280Ah with built in Bluetooth/BMS/Low temp cut off.

I can confirm the low temp cut off deffo works! I spent 4 hours tracing wires after I’d installed it and wondered why it wasn’t working… because it was 1 degree! It’s not obvious, you have to find the alert in the app.

Go for a Fogstar. Support a British company and have UK customer support if you need it.
