Can't pm you Rob, so thanks for your thoughts.
I've just checked my settings Jim and the privacy is set to receive PM's from all members so I'm not sure what has happened there.

I would hold off in buying any of these new type of batteries just yet .... unless you wear asbestos clothing.

Sighs...
These articles are not about LiFePO4 batteries that are used in motorhomes. LiFePO4 was discovered in 1950 and has been used in batteries for nearly 25 years. LiFePO4 batteries are the safest type of lithium batteries.
I really don’t understand why so many people have this prejudice against LiFePO4 batteries to the point where they post articles about completely different battery chemistries to produce FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt).
So to sum up...
Lithium Iron Phosphate(LiFePO4) — LFP batteries are not Lithium Cobalt Oxide(LiCoO2) — LCO batteries.
Lithium Iron Phosphate(LiFePO4) — LFP batteries are not Lithium Manganese Oxide (LiMn2O4) — LMO batteries.
Lithium Iron Phosphate(LiFePO4) — LFP batteries are not Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2) — NMC batteries.
Lithium Iron Phosphate(LiFePO4) — LFP batteries are not Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide (LiNiCoAlO2) — NCA batteries.
Lithium Iron Phosphate(LiFePO4) — LFP batteries are not Lithium Titanate (Li2TiO3) — LTO batteries.
Lithium Iron Phosphate(LiFePO4) — LFP batteries are safe, have a 99% charge efficiency, are cheaper over their lifespan, have great stamina under heavy loads, charge faster, can be mounted in any direction, are half the weight, provide twice the power for the same volume and smart batteries have a BMS with a host of safety and management features.

Only if you use them only 20 times per year.

That's why I used an emoji to show it was not a serious post. At least it might help someone thinking of buying an electric car (or Motorhome).

I bought two of the same batteries - Probat 110Ah - £65 off that auction site. One of them started leaking acid after only two months of light use. 4 year warranty? The seller simply stated "they only leak if you over charge them". I am an electrical engineer and they were set up perfectly with the correct charge controller settings. The seller basically ignored my emails from that point. I escalated this to a Paypal claim and their response eventually was: "Return both batteries in the original packing for investigation works" .Total cop out. Who has the original packing after several months? So, yeah, you get what you pay for. Most warranties on Ebay are worth nothing. Too cheap to be true? It usually is. You might be lucky though..
