If considering LiTime battery read this, or if you own them.

I was reading what you guys were talking about and we do have Ground Control 3.0 electric leveling, 6 way leveling. We've had our single LifePo4 100 ah battery installed since early 2024 spring. We've never had a problem with the slides or leveling since switching to a Lithium battery.
@Quinny98Good day everyone,
It's time to upgrade my batteries. We own a 2018 GD reflection 311BHS FW. The batteries I removed for winter storage are original and don't charge fully anymore.
Batteries and anything electrical is Greek to me so looking for some help.
Sounds like Lithium is the way to go these days. We had 2-100AH lead acid batteries, and assume I need to replace with the same?
We don't boondock, but we do spend nights at Walmart's and Bass Pro's etc. so would need power for those occasions.
I'd like to take advantage of some cyber Monday deals. I've been lurking on Renogy's website, but it's very overwhelming.
I just don't know what to buy and don't want to overspend on things I don't need.
Thank you in advance.
Kyle
I just stuck a Epoch 460Ah LiFePO into my 17MKE, and I love it so far. But there is plenty of cost involved, and it took me many days to research to screw up the courage to re-wire the stock WFCO converter. Youtube videos are your best resource, so I won't go over it all here. Here is my advice: 1. Yes, go LiFePO. 2. Get one big battery instead of two small ones. 3. Don't forget to buy a proper AC/DC charger for it - your stock charger won't cut it. 4. You get what you pay for with these kinds of electronics. Lean towards Victron and Epoch for the best, and Renogy for the still-good-enough. 5. The project won't be small, so be sure you want to do it or have a little cash to do it right. Good luck!Good day everyone,
