AGM converter

I noticed that BestConverter is recommending PowerMax Boondocker converters for AGM batteries.  I just sent them a message asking why they are recommended this converter instead of a Progressive Dynamics converter.  I'll post their answer later.

Very quick reply from BestConverter

Hi Bob It's mainly the higher boost voltage and feedback from customers in the field. We sell them to some of the manufactures as well. They also have the better warranty. Either would work however. Thanks and let me know if I can help.

On the bottom of the page Bob posted, I spotted this.
Change is slowly coming.

Change is truly a'comin'

Elon Musk of Tesla announced last night a 10 KW battery for home use for $3,500.  You can wire up to 9 of these together to suit your needs.  These batteries are intended to be charged by your solar panels.

He was talking about people moving off the grid with these batteries coupled with adequate solar panels.  Musk is a major investor in SolarCity.

That Li-Ion charger is interesting. Another piece  of the puzzle. As soon as I can get a 200AH RV Li-Ion battery for 1000 bucks or  less, which will fit into a LD battery compartment I will think about  converting. That would nearly double my present  capacity because our present 220AH flooded cell or AGM batteries should not be  discharged more than 50%, which gives us effectively only 110AH to use. The  Li-Ions can be discharged all the way down with no harm. Still there is the  alternator and the solar controller to consider. How will they charge the  Li-Ions? Tom
