Lithium battery advice

[NatMc24]

Hi, little bit of advice please. Can anyone recommend a lithium battery that doesnt break the bank and fits under the drivers seat in a T6.1. We only need it to power the fridge and lights and are using the Victron Smart DC to DC. Thank you

Eco-worthy do one around £200 with Bluetooth and low temp protection, fits on its side

Just running the lights and the dometic fridge is the 100ah ok or any suggestions?

Depends...

On how long you want to spend 'off grid' with no charging.

A normal 50l fridge will use 1-1.5Ah per hour, so around 30Ah in a day. So realistically you might get 2-3 days from a 100Ah battery with no additional charging.

That's really helpful thank you!

Does this one have to go on its side or does it fit upright?

I run it upright under my drivers seat. It's tight but doable.

LiFePO4 batteries can be mounted in any orientation.

I had to put it on its side as I have a swivel. Not tried upright without the swivel but looks like others have made it work. It’s been a great battery.

Thank you, we don't have a swivel on the drivers seat so hopefully it'll fur upright but either way sounds like it'll be fine. Ordered it last night...on pre order
