The current ham radio plan.

I'm not trying to fling poo just trying to see if there is any better connectors or detractors from them.

Not a bad way to support the house lead acid (L.A.) battery. IMHO
LiPo batteries vs L.A. can be a harder for some of us to get use to using. In a twisted way I've been learning and using LiPo 12 v system for over a year. I would have probably got a Jackery and could have been a done deal for multiple uses but kinda built my own system in my Jeep.

Thanks. The Jackery is kinda overpriced I guess. Pretty nice inverter though and it's quiet. I bet your system is good.

Well not so much "grid" power but I've got 1 acre of land, with water, power and septic system. Then all my other stuff Jeeps, boats, 4wheeler. I've got solar system on my new Jeep (JT) it's got 180 w of solar panels and house (LiPo) batteries, with Renogy charging controller. I don't have a Jackery or other battery bank, I would like to replace the lead acid battery with LiPo battery.
My Scamp is due some renovations and repair. I need to do the window seals, fridge and replace screens on screen door, and few windows.
A few weeks back I ordered a new tankless water heater for my Scamp to replace the original one, I had to replace the water tank a few years back. After 10 years of constant use it corroded out.
It's looking like I need to downsize some of my stuff and then I might be traveling some depending on what happens but probably not much travel with current fuel cost. I was looking in to starting to travel until last week's fuel cost changes.
My "take" on Anderson connectors I have been using two sizes small and large different uses winch and jumper cables and then solar/ regular 12v system.
