Price dropping below $500 per kWh is quite significant if the quality of these batteries holds up over time (i.e. — many cycles) and the listed capacity is “useable”; which it appears to be.
At that price not only are lithium-iron-phosphate batteries more competitive with AGM (when likely cycle life is considered), but they make elimination of generators for some types of motorhomes a lot more practical.
For example, if the retail cost of a 4-kW Onan was applied towards extra battery capacity, a new motorhome could end up with much more useable battery capacity than what Coachmen has been installing in Cross Trek generator-less motorhomes. And if they were lithium instead of AGM, the owner wouldn’t have to worry as much about over-using the batteries.
I hope these batteries prove to be reliable, and that price keeps going down.
