Topic: Lithium upgrade (Read 1039 times) previous topic - next topic

Wondering if anyone with GoPower flexible 100 W panels have had to replace them after 2 years. Second query, has anyone upgraded AGM's for lithium. If you have would you descibe what's involved. Thanks, 2021 Wonder RL

2021 WRTB, 400 watts flexible, no issues or visible degradation to date. But I live in Alberta and don't spend much time in high heat conditions. I upgraded to lithium last season with a single 200Ah self heating unit from Ionic here in Canada. Straight drop in, no changes or upgrades needed. everything is working just fine. There are other battery options out there and prices are a moving target so some research is probably needed for your application. Be very aware of your size requirements. Many of these batteries are assembled with non standard case sizes and can vary from brand to brand.

What year & model?
Upgrading depends on what you have now.
I had 400watts of flexible which were starting to look grayish, after 3 years. I had the room so installed six 100watt solid panels,  this also needed a larger solar controller.

Thanks for replies!
