Hi Ron,
By the time you add a charge controller and BMS to that battery you
might as well buy a solar generator (then you get an inverter too).

With thanks to Gus, K5GMB, I recommend Will Prowse's youtube channel
to inform y'all on solar power, as well as batteries. You can get a
50Ah LiFePO4 (Ampere Time or Eco Worthy) Chinese battery for <$300 on
Ebay. They review very well for the price, with the caveat that they
do not come with low temp circuits on the BMS, so you have to have
good low temp protection on your charge controller to make sure you
protect the cells. I also recommend spending less on the batteries
and more on the charge controller. I plan on buying a Victron Blue
Solar, as all of my cruising friends swear by them.

I'd be interested in picking up a cheap battery as well.

Subject: [BVARC] lithium chemistry batteries for emergency power
I subscribe to several listservers, but I believe the listing I
saw was here on BVARC about someone putting together a group
purchase of batteries that can be used to create emergency or
field power supplies. My far too efficient mailbox tool clears out
messages after a month, so if it was here I can no longer find the
listing. If someone has any information on this, could you send
directly to me? ...no need to blast it all out again. Thanks.
