Sadly it seems that my 95ah AGM battery which is over 6 years old is on its way out. Checking this morning the reading is 11.7v. Although it has recovered previously from dropping as low as 6v this was when it was only about 2 years old.
I am now debating whether to pay the extra and switch to lithium or to stick with the AGM battery. This could open up a load of non EHU sites to us plus if on a metered site we can keep costs down by running on the lithium battery. The latter I am a bit unsure of as we like wo watch TV in the evenings, but according to some who have done it the lithium should last the night and recharge the next day from the 100w solar panel. We do have an 150w inverter which I think it ample for our use.
I guess it is a case of justifying the cost of the lithium against the AGM which retails for about £210. Lithium is double that cost for the equivalnet plus too many brands unknown to myself. Halfords have the AGM battery with a 2 years warranty and Tanya the identical battery with a 4 years warranty. Biggest issue with Tanya is if the battery needs to be returned for a warranty issue.
