drservices01 Report post Posted October 31, 2019 I see FMCA has a discount on Briter batteries but wow are they expensive. I'm not sure how many on this site can afford to upgrade 4, 6 or 8 batteries. I for one can't. I would like to see a discounts for other batteries like Trojan etc. These are more affordable to the average person and would give members a reasonable option to upgrade their battery bank. Hopefully a deal can be reach with some battery companies to sell to members through battery suppliers like the tire discount program. Maybe a consensus from the membership could give a little push to negotiate a deal for us. Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossboyer Report post Posted October 31, 2019 FMCA has tried several times to get discounts for batteries, but so far the manufacturers are not interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

manholt Report post Posted November 1, 2019 $1,400 each & I have 2 start & 8 house...don't think so! Yes they charge faster and last 3 to 5 years longer than my AGM's, I can replace mine 4x for the price of Briter. That would make me 104 years old & I don't think I'll be driving anything! 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted November 1, 2019 I understand and appreciate all the benefits of the Li batteries but I can't justify the cost. I have dry camped 2 nights in the last 7 years. I can get buy just fine on lead acid. But wait there is a new battery on the horizon that is promising to be better and cheaper than Li it uses a aluminum technology. There are 2 different yet similar roads. Aluminum /organic. https://www.designnews.com/materials-assembly/new-aluminum-battery-design-could-be-more-sustainable-lithium-ion/4553949261660 Then the aluminum ion battery. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6504778/ Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domer Report post Posted April 14, 2020 Has anyone had any experience with Battle Born batteries? From my research I'm getting a favorable impression. I plan on changing out all my house batteries with 3 1000 AmpHrs Battle Born Lithium Ion batteries. I understand they are $950 a copy but sell at $850 at RV shows (if ever we get back to having them). My next question I would appreciate help with: I just purchased a 2015 Tuscany XTE 40AX with 32K miles at the end of October and had to put it directly in winter storage. After I change out the batteries, are there any reset switches on the Magnum Converter/Charger that I need to reset? Or other main cut out switches other than the main house switch inside the entrance door? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
