lithium

Hello! New to the forum and just picked up my GD Reflection 324MBS. We love it, but having some issues getting the Compass Connect Panel to actually show what my pair of Lithium batteries charge is. I was doing a test to see how long I could run the fridge off just the two 105Ah Lithium's I...

Like many others, we upgraded to the new "Auto-Detect" version of the WFCO power center, only to learn it couldn't detect our new LiFePO4 battery. It wasn't a major problem because: 1) we have a solar suitcase with a LiFePO4 charging profile to use while dry camping; and 2) if we have shore...

I recently swapped out my dying AGM battery power for a single Renogy 100 Ah LiFePo battery with self heating function. My power system also includes a Victron 712 BVM (with temperature sensor), Victron MPPT, and Victron Orion DC charger. Everything worked perfectly this summer, yet now that...

I have a 2004 GS Crescendo. I have just replaced the standard batteries with lithium batteries. I have upgraded my charge controller but have also purchased a DC-DC charge controller so I don't overload my alternator while driving. I can't figure out where to install this controller. Does...

After reading many posts here and a couple of calls to BattleBorn, I successfully made the change over from LA Batteries to a LiFePO. My change over was simple compared to most. Just one battery for now. The booger was finding the charger/converter so I could swap it out as well. I was told...

So today I installed my Progressive Dynamics PD4655TV to replace the WFCO 8955 controller, as I'm switching to lithium. Then I started installing the 200 amp lithium battery. I hooked it up and everything came on. But then when I moved the battery around in order to figure out its final...

The lithium batteries are LiFePO4 unless I am sadly mistaken, and as far as I know they don't take kindly to attempts to charge them below freezing. My 21NE has those outside in the utility chest near the hitch - how worried do I need to be about that? Is there a low-temp sensor? Does it have...

I upgraded my 2020 Imagine 21BHE TT to Lithium by installing two Ampere Time 300Ah lithium batteries. I used the space below the dinette seat as a battery compartment. I cross vented it using a ball bearing 4” fan under the bunk beds. I then removed the OEM lead acid battery on the frame and...

I've read where folks have replaced the WFCO converter with the Progressive Dynamics PD 4635LIV when changing to lithium. My understanding is that it doesn't have a float charging mode and continuously charges at 14.6 volts. Does anyone know if this unit has been upgraded or if there is an...

In several threads the question of how to properly wire batteries in parallel has come up in the discussion. I have found a study that explains the advantages of various wiring schemes when it comes to wiring batteries in parallel... Here is the quick explanation: According to the study linked...

2020 Transcend 247 BH -- I want to upgrade to lithium ion batteries and move them under the front queen bed. For those that have done this (or even moved the batteries into the pass through storage), how did you run the wires? My current plan is to run the wires in flexible conduit along the...
