【Lithium Iron Battery】: The lifespan of LiFePO4 (lithium) batteries is 8 to 10 times longer than that of regular lead-acid batteries (2000~5000 cycles vs 300-500 cycles). The usable capacity also doubles compared to that of a lead-acid battery while the weight is 30% less thanks to its significantly higher energy density.Without any memory effect, the lithium battery can hold a charge better while not in use and will not lose capacity due to the previous discharge state.

Hi,

I have not bought anything yet so this looks like a good potential option. I drew up a diagram of what I was thinking but don't know how to attach it here as a file (first time posting on Reddit).

This is the concept I am going for minus the alternator charging part:

These are the components I am considering:

Panels: x3 Renogy 100w 12v https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GF5JY35?tag=skooliesupply-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1

Combiner Box: Eco-worthly 4 string https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F5HDP2W?tag=skooliesupply-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

Solar Charge Controller: Renogy 40 amp 12v mppt https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSYGZGI?tag=skooliesupply-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

Battery: Chins 300ah Lithium https://www.amazon.com/CHINS-LiFePO4-Battery-2000-5000-Off-Grid/dp/B08N53GF81/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

Inverter: 2000w TBD

Shore Power Plug: 30amp

Auto Transfer Switch: 30amp in 30amp out https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00153EYTO?tag=skooliesupply-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1

Converter/smart charger: Powermax PM4 60a 110v to 12v DC with smart battery charger https://www.amazon.com/PowerMax-PM4-100A-Converter-Battery/dp/B01ER3LGYY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=vc-electrical-20&linkId=d8548aa852a41b8ce022d573b5e907c1&language=en_US

Would this system all work together? Would that item you recommended be a better fit. I'm also considering getting a renogy inverter/charger/converter combo to do my inverting to AC from DC battery and also my converting from AC shore power to DC to charge battery but those are a bit pricey.

Open to all thoughts and recommendations of course.
