Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Victron energy equipment including solar charge controller, shore power controller, DC to DC charger, and shunt for battery monitoring.
Durability in Extreme Conditions: Operates flawlessly in Arizona’s hot climate (up to 110°F) inside an enclosed box without overheating.
Solar Integration: Paired with two solar panels, the battery runs a fridge continuously without needing additional charging.
Heat Management: Enclosed box retains heat in winter to keep the battery warm; plans to add a fan for summer heat dissipation.
Portability: Battery box is removable and transferable to other vehicles.
Power Efficiency: Runs a small BJ RV fridge and a dual-zone Set Power fridge, replacing a previous 300Ah battery with a smaller 100Ah one without performance loss.

User Experience
