I took a chance and ordered a 70ah LiFePO4 battery from china through aliexpress it was 522.00 shipping included. it was mainly for weight  (22lbs) reasons.  I had trouble with the first charger not keeping up with the load so I bought the convert/charger.  They make one that’s not the panel box just the converter PD9100L.  I think that would have been a better choice but I wanted the AC bus, now I’m not so sure about needing the AC.

 

It took 7 weeks for the battery to arrive but one day it was at the door.

Hi, the temperature in Delaware now (Jan) is 27 to 60, I found a post about building a tent over the work and using (4)  75w bulbs for overnight heating, I put 1 x 3”s in Tupperware filled with cement about 6’ tall, they work well with spring clamps and clamping reflective lights. I covered it with a cheap plastic drop cloth this has kept work at 65 deg overnight
