    So if not doing something as simple as Redtail is planning, you can charge via the white plug either with a battery charger on a timer, a smart charger with storage mode option left permanently connected, or a remote solar panel with a solar controller.

    Easy to then disconnect when need to move car.

    More or les what I used to do prior to adding the solar panels on the roof rack.

    At the risk of going off topic, and not being a fan of the lithium mob that seem to advertise everywhere elsewhere, CMCA RV club has a new contact with Voltx lithium batteries - anyone know anything about them?

    Hi again Gavin, while that is a cheap battery, it is just that.

    Going on those specs, it's not a battery I would buy.

    Can you please detail which of these specs, in your opinion, means they’re no good?

    Hi Disco, I did not say it was no good, it just has very ordinary specs but the 7 year life expectancy is not much better that good quality lead acid batteries.

    Plus there are 100Ah lithium batteries with similar to better charge and discharge specs.

    As posted, not a battery I would buy.

    My point was you’re not educating anyone by saying, it’s cheap and you’d not buy. Why? What should people be looking for? Example of a better battery?
