Big 200 gets a bigger house battery and inverter.

Here's what we're up to with the big 200. The customer wanted more power and have everything integrated into the AirDown GearUp drawer system.

looks dope! Dumb question: would you ever think twice about leaving a LiFePO4 battery in your truck full time? Summertime in cab temps can easily hit 110-120 even with fancy tint. I guess I’m still a little apprehensive about leaving something like that in my truck 24/7.

Temperature to initiate thermal runaway in a LFP cell is quite high, 230C (446F). In cabin temps of 110 - 120F are not a problem. SEI layer degradation doesn't happen until 85C (185F), so really not a problem from a safety standpoint. I keep an LFP in my 80 as a house battery full time. If you are cycling the battery at high temperature it will result in faster cycle life degradation.

With a high quality battery it's not really a concern. I wouldn't recommend mounting it where sunlight can add extra heat though. I think we all get a little sketched out with the cheap batteries from overseas.
