I have two Ampere Time 200ah batteries in my 5th wheel, it had one in it when I purchased the trailer, I added another after a couple months, going to add a third 200hr here shortly to go with my solar upgrade. i have had zero problems with them. I also have a residential refrigerator so it is taxing on the batteries. don't like not having the cold cut off protection, so i wrapped them in tank heater pads and install an on/off switch remotely inside the trailer. (incase it ever gets below freezing in Arizona )

I’m entering my fourth season with our pair of Lion UT1300’s from Costco. Definitely not the cheapest($1399 for pair) of the cheap lithium options but we have been very happy. One thing I’ve noted is that noticed is the BMS output 150amps, most max out at 100amps. I’ve put a 2500 watt load on the batteries and they don’t batt an eye. We camped 110+ nights with these and never run out of power. Half those nights were boondocking and we have one 7 day trip and several 4 day weekends without hookups under our belt. Very happy with them.

Well, I bit the bullet. I was going to get a LiTime battery, but decided on Weize instead. Both seem good, and have good reviews, but the last review by will Prowse convinced me. Next will be a new converter charger

They are sitting on a plywood platform that built. I got the straps from Custom Tiedowns https://customtiedowns.com/search.ph...42-RW4.33-1.33 and used some footman loops to secure them to the platform. The batteries don't have bluetooth, I'm using the BMV-712 to monitor them along with the Cerbo GX with touch 50 panel.

I seem to remember reading on this site somewhere that replacing my 55amp converter with a 60 amp is ok. Is that correct? I am seeing a pretty good deal on Ebay for a 60amp.

This is an example of where knowing how big your system eventually will be would come in handy.
From your previous post, I gather that you are installing two 100ah Weize LiFePo4 batteries.
The answer to your question is yes, the 60 amp Converter will (be sure it is Lithium Compatible) be adequate for your two batteries. However, if you intend on expanding your battery bank to 600ah or 800ah, you will find the 60 amp Converter to be too slow to charge up the larger battery bank.
I might caution you against buying a WFCO Auto Detect (AD is in the model number), many users have had trouble getting that Converter to detect the Lithium batteries and if it detects Lithium batteries, it has a tendency to forget that Lithium batteries are installed. Consequently, if it is a WFCO be sure that it has a manual switch for Lithium mode, or buy a Progressive Dynamics unit.David and Peggy
