    Been looking to add an aux battery to my Gen 4 and discovered the Dakota Lithium LiFePO4 battery. The claim is the battery alone can eliminate the need for an aux battery. Any body have experience with this? Cost is high but not much higher than installing a GOOD aux system.

    Maybe confirm if a LiFePO4 battery is the right choice first, then select the brand. Will your vehicle charge it (then you’ll need to configure that). Will it be cold at times (then you’ll need a self heating battery)? Will Prowse on YouTube does lots of battery tear downs to understand their build quality.
