Hi mate. I've had a kings 120ah lithium for about 2 years now in my landcruiser and a 300ah in my camper for a year. Very happy with both. Run a 2000w inverter on the 300ah with no problems.
Only issue I had was the 120ah shut down one night in the cold. It was down to minus 5 and the cold shut down shouldn't hit until minus 20. Started the vehicle which kicked the dcdc charger on and that restarted the bms. Was strange, never done it again since.
They are a great deal, don't see too many folks whining about failures online which is rare for kings stuff.
Yes i run 2 x 120amp Kings, lithium batteries under my petrolhilux 2 x 4 workmate tray utility for the past two years and can run a big fridge freezer with out any problems, both running at same time and so far has not let me down, they were $500.00 each two years ago and now they are selling them for $350.00 on friday. Most people said i wouldnt put those cheap chinese lithiums on. I run a 300 watt solar pannel on the cannopy roof, and a red arc charging/12 v msnager which cost and fitting red arc $1200.00 plus solar pannel
I forgot to mention, when you buy them they are only 60% charged, i bought a 40amp lithum charger on ebay to jolt them up before fitting
I too have 2 x 200 amp Kings Lithiums now just over a year old, also 2 x 250 watt Kings solar panels plus also a kings dc dc 40 amp charger, the charger and the 3000 watt invertor are over 3 years old i only bought all of the above items after going the cheapo ebay stuff and AGM batteries some yeras back and all failed after a period, as we are pensioners any savings are the bomb in my opinion, we researched a lot of other suppliers and i know there is supposedly better out there but as we know the local kings manager we are very happy with there products, i bought a 12 volt oven and also a couple of there 1.2l stainless thermos recently as well and seem they are very good quality and really lets face it most after market 4x4 products now in that sort of catorgorie are chinese made as well!!!!!
That's made my mind up rusty hooks

yes I have a 120ah lithium Kings in the canopy of the ute only hooked up to a 120w solar, yes could do with more on cloudy days but ok on most days, runs a 40liter Dometic compressor fridge freezer no worries, but running as a freezer at -14 during winter in WA I do hook up a 200w solar blanket at times to keep the battery topped up, it also runs the diesel heater on cold nights no worries and I think the Kings is a good battery

I bought the kings ultra slim100ah, last year to replace a renogy, 100ah purely to make real estate, its a great battery and a pretty good build, although I did put a better bms with Bluetooth into it, it makes it easier to keep track off charge and cell balancing, its not necessary but keeps peace of mind.
I use a victron mppt 100/20 charge controller I picked up on ebay for $62 in a sale and a 175w renogy panel to keep it topped up.

I also have the victron SC with Bluetooth very handy.
