HUGE LITHIUM BATTERY UPGRADE - Renogy 300AH Battery! Off Grid Vanlife

Hi my name is Mara! I've lived in a van for 5 years, last year I did Spain to Turkey in my van but I didnt film it. This time I am!
Today I partnered up with Renogy to change my batteries from lead-acid to lithium!

We've had Renogy lithiums for almost 5 years now. They've only lost 1% of their capacity in that time! Back in the day they were eye-wateringly expensive and 4 separate ones. Great to see the new battery being so compact - it'll make such a big difference. Just make sure your battery wires are thick enough and ofc set your charger to lithium! Happy days!

@@bloodynorahvan2203 aaaa glad to hear!!! All set! It’s good to hear from someone who’s had theirs for a while, I’m very impressed so far 😊 hoping they last you plenty more years to come ☺️

Nice job girl you make it look 👀 so nice and easy well done 👍 😊

[@Mar.lavender]

@@YardieAcrossBorders thank you ☺️

[@scottscoobyrichardson9519]

Thought you would have to change the charger as well

[@betweenthepines4000]

Thats for the upload. Going to replace my 2 100ah lithiums for this 300ah, which only adds 9lbs but uses less space. Pretty awesome little battery and an extra 100ah will be nice. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@betweenthepines4000]

Thanks**

Mara, you have to change the settings of your solar charger to lifepo4 if possible. Many Regards from Berlin, Ralf

[@Mar.lavender]

@@RalfSW Thank you for your commen, I appreciate it 😊 Someone mentioned it to me and I have now changed the settings!

[@TERRYnKERRY]

Well done ...a lot of men could not do that....❤

[@Mar.lavender]

@@TERRYnKERRY hahaha thanks ☺️

[@boatcaradventures]

Lithium batteries are great for longer energy. Do you guys have solar panels?

[@Mar.lavender]

@boatcaradventures yes we do! A necessity to stay off grid for me😊

[@waldirleite100]

[@PaulTurvene]

Awesome upgrade!!! How do you like not having to pay rent now or house payment? I'm looking forward to that part lol

[@roytreeby1437]

Did you change your charger settings to lithium charging?

[@Mar.lavender]

@@roytreeby1437 omg! I’m so glad you commented… I’ve done it now and that is why I can’t have nice things 😂😂

[@lhollybow]

@@Mar.lavender hahaha

[@JustAnotherReviewwithAlek]

I know you just installed these battery 3 or so days ago. So, how are you finding it so far?

[@Mar.lavender]

@@JustAnotherReviewwithAlek I’m finding it great so far, but atm we have so much solar so it’s like unlimited electricity anyways. Ask me again in a weeks time so I can give you a better review 😊😂

[@JustAnotherReviewwithAlek]

@ yeah. I wasn’t sure if I should reach out this early. But, I’m in Australia and some people had issues within the first 24hrs. So, I thought I would ask, anyways. I’ve subscribed. If you can do a review in the next few months that would be awesome.

[@Mar.lavender]

@ wow all the way in Australia! Thank you so much for subscribing… Yes I’ll defo do a review on the battery, I was thinking about doing one anyways 😊

[@james3418]

should be a game changer upgrade Renogy have some great products but there battery's aren't the best IMO the BMS can fail just keep your eye on it

[@Mar.lavender]

@@james3418 should defo be a game changer from the set up I had! Thanks for the advice 😊

[@grahamsfarmportugal2022]

😂 no that would be Ankor to sponsor you a usb power bank to keep your phone charged.

[@Mar.lavender]

@@grahamsfarmportugal2022 hahahaha if their watching 😂😂😂

[@AndyC2_]

Holy shitballs - can you come change my battery for me 😂😂😂😂

[@agfbuilding]

Christ ! Don’t put foil insulation or anything like that on top of the battery I was waiting for a firework display.. if those terminals connect you could be in a spot of bother

[@Mar.lavender]

@@agfbuilding hahahaha imagine! Just my luck… luckily it wasn’t foil 😂😂

[@agfbuilding]

@ lol .. ive accidentally done it … shit myself 😂😂
