NEW Winter Camping Fun T-Shirt Design is Available Now😃 bit.ly/3Vg9bMz Thank you for Watching 🙏 🚐💨

[@danarcher6749]

This is a real decent human being, doing real work to make things better. It is refreshing and an uplift to know he is making a difference by doing things the right way.

[@strangerpalooza]

We were impressed by Steve's convictions and how he puts his money where his mouth is...one of the most interesting people I've spoken to so far Dan

[@yangchan8002]

He is a real engineer he only cares about the products bean counters only wants money 😅

[@yangchan8002]

Well Hank thank you for the video ❤ CEO he really cares about the products he puts out and QC the batteries, I am in the market for a RV and I was not sure about what electrical system for the RV should I get with a generator or lithium batteries after watching this video I have made out my mind to have his batteries for my Van, because I have more confidence with his systems in my van❤ now I like to have it for my Van because he cares about his products and his employees and if I need to upgrade the Van to his systems and I think it's worth it for me and my family and today I read a News article about Toyota have a new type of battery it's called solid state battery and it have a longer range and only takes ten minutes to get a full charge plus it has sign an agreement with Tesla for Toyota to use Tesla charging stations this could be a game changer and who knows Tesla may get the battery for their cars 😅 also there might be a new battery uses sodium and ion so battery will be salty in the future 😂 will no matter what I hope his company will continue to get bigger and better

[@traveldreamer4616]

I’m such a geek. This video fed my inner geek. Very interesting. I like how they are actually manufacturing and designing the system, instead sourcing every component from anthothercountry . Well done

[@strangerpalooza]

Thanks Travel Dreamer…I learned a lot just editing this video and watching it over and over again…it’s funny how much I missed even though I was right there 😁

[@dennismcclendon93]

Working in tire manufacturing for 42 years from plant floors to corporate HQ and now retired, this is an exemplary factory manager, CEO and mentor for this industry. Mr Francois Michelin had the same approach to taking care of his people and safety and quality was high priority. I have a Beyond 22RB with Gen on the way and decided the technology is moving rapidly in the future and will change out AGM's later. Fantastic video of tour to share with all. I have gone thru Kaizen, Six Sigma and all of the quality philosophies and this company has my respect. Great job Hank.

[@OurJourneyInMyles]

This is absolutely the best video to watch in its entirety if you are even remotely thinking about going with Lithionics Batteries. This is the third time I watched the video. I went with Lithionics! Fantastic job Lola/Hank and Walter,.....

[@richardburguillos3118]

Wow!…. Absolutely special tour, company, and owner. What a tour! Unbelievable look behind the curtain. Thanks for putting this together and sharing.

[@maureenburke8618]

Absolutely the best informative video ever! He did not talk over anyone's head and really made everything easy and logical to understand. Thank you so much, I am now feeling like an LI 3 expert!!!!

[@donniecole3472]

Wow, I just watched a 1 hour 41 minute video that was amazingly good.

[@garyh8378]

Thank you Hank, Steve, Lola and Walter! Very interesting and informative.

[@ronaldspins]

Incredible video with a amazing amount of tech

[@azores-pv6ft]

Very lousy tech. That system could malfunction any time and no electrician could figure how to fix it.

[@strangerpalooza]

Yeah the tech and redundancy is was cool to see

[@strangerpalooza]

@@azores-pv6ft you obviously didn't watch the video

[@RealCujo]

Azores is just a troll. You can tell he doesn’t have self worth so he comes online looking for attention

[@33707florida]

Great video Hankster, (and Lola!). This is the best one yet!!! Thanks!!!

[@scottbrown3546]

This is an excellent documentary lots of information thanks Lola knows how to video.

[@strangerpalooza]

Thanks Scott...I appreciate it and I will pass that onto the boss lady 😃

[@wdwilson7031]

I love this video one of the most informative about batteries and the engineers are great. Good work putting this out.

[@strangerpalooza]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.

[@locle7998]

This is the best video I have seen from Stranger Palooza. Steve is such a great guy , running an innovative company that sources and make things in the USA, uncompromising on quality. I got this urge to apply for an apprenticeship with Lithionics, even though I’m in Australia 😊. The geek in me just keeps screaming :”Go work for this guy, you’ll learn new shit every day.” Thank you.

[@RoadsofLife]

I'm about a quarter of the way into this video and the information is just phenomenal! One of the best videos I've seen on this subject on KZbin!

[@davidw7005]

Very informative! I'm really impressed with the company.

[@carolinecote6908]

Totally impressive! And so interesting. Thanks!!!

[@billymcfarlane1387]

Steve loves his biz (lucky guy) I don't think you can top this vid anytime soon Thanks for the vid😊

[@OffTheDomeMediaGroup]

This one was awesome. I got my full electrical - nerdism on with it. 🤓

[@strangerpalooza]

Cool, I’m glad it appreciated out there 😁

[@OffTheDomeMediaGroup]

@@strangerpalooza Absolutely! 👍🏽

[@greyangelpilot]

Thank god BEV's are finally making it to the Marketplace ! One day soon, I will purchase one !

[@bertfisk1194]

Great video, one thing that wasn't talked about is if your living full time in your van do you run the battery down all the way then charge, or wait till it gets half way then charge up. What is the best way to keep the life of the battery for as long as you can.???

[@strangerpalooza]

The whole purpose of the battery management system is to ensure the longevity and life of lithium batteries by figuring out how and when to charge. That's with any system. If we didn't mention it then check with lithionics directly.

[@blackcatrose4257]

Here lately I've been watching Mike Mas he designed duel systems on his coaches. 12/58 volt system. It was very very impressive. I'm watching all his vids and paying attention. He ran RV ac for 10 hrs. Wow

[@RealCujo]

This went over my head accept for batteries in the man packs for the military.

[@strangerpalooza]

LOL it took me watching it over and over to begin to wrap my head around it because its a lot of info...Steve is a really smart guy who wants to build better in this space

[@shelaran5488]

Thanks Hank

[@timdunmyer4549]

After watching this video or atleast some of it. I'm shocked that Coachman isn't more organized with their wiring. Man that stuff looked like spaghetti. Any idea how much that 1260ah bad boy will cost you? That's relatively small compared to 2 560ah batteries or a bunch of 100ah batteries. Very interesting info.

[@strangerpalooza]

Yeah you’re not the only one to notice that…I think it is too bad that quite a few CO’s can’t find a better way to hide the spaghetti 🤣

[@timdunmyer4549]

@StrangerPalooza I believe it's done on purpose so if there is a problem people will look at that and not even try. Nope, going to a dealer...lol

[@jamesswarm]

@@timdunmyer4549 Innovations like the Lithionics ACR (Combiner) and RV BUS as discussed in this video is doing a lot to eliminate a lot of the spaghetti. It looks to be getting better over time.

[@jdiamond9513]

As a retired Electrical Engineering Technician with a bit of OCD, that rat’s nest of wiring under the Nova bench really makes me cringe. Another great video from you though, Hank.

[@azores-pv6ft]

Oh boy. What a mess of wiring. Coachmen should fire the engineers who designed this set up. It’s a shame that taking a great battery ( Li3) and create such a mess.

[@KenKellySWFL]

Agreed, even the wiring for the TV is a disaster! 😵‍💫 How difficult is it to just shove everything into a corrugated tube for a cleaner look?

[@fredrichard2814]

The wiring system on this coach is done so poorly I’ve never seen such a mess in my whole life. You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to sell that to a consumer shame on you coachman.

[@JeffroBluesLanham1]

Can I get a lithium package with everything shown here for my Coleman pull camper RV?

[@strangerpalooza]

Yes, you can. For that you would have to consult with an upfitter that can do the aftermarket install for you.

[@havingfunatthis]

If one were to ordered a Coachman Nova with 630, would it be possible to upgrade it by half? Or would you have to double it? Asking for a friend . 😉

[@IMDABROWN]

😒Have to watch this one in 2 or more sessions. just realized how long it was until he showed off the watch. Hope you uploaded from your home internet. I'm sure the video file even at low bit rate was HUGE!

[@jamesswarm]

Is Lithionics hinting that their 600/630 batteries will soon be smaller and lighter?

[@peopledustcanada]

Awful planning and wiring, total mess... even can be dangerous. If there quality control thinks this is ok, one must question other areas of the van... I'm very disappointed. Coachmen was on my list but now I need to re-think about looking at Pleasure way again.

[@coreybabcock2023]

I have 1200 ah here in my van I live in

[@glenludwig9676]

If I was going to spend 100.000 plus and opened that box up and saw that wiring mess in there. It would definitely be a deal breaker. That is pathetic. Informative video though. Thahks

[@yeshua4429]

That is a mess of wiring. I wouldn't show that to anyone.

[@scottbrown3546]

I’m sorry but lithium batteries are not environmentally friendly. Just a thought.

[@strangerpalooza]

Its not a bad thought Scott...I think what Steve is trying to say is that's why we need to make these batteries better, longer lasting, and reusable...

[@scottbrown3546]

@@strangerpalooza good point thanks

[@timkarcher6724]

We live in a world that defines the air you exhale as environmentally unfriendly.

They are made with a whole lot of slavery.

[@azores-pv6ft]

Are you an employee of this dealership? If yes then your reviews have no credibility. They are paid advertising

[@RealCujo]

Do you believe that everyone who makes videos are only doing it for profit. Couldn’t be because they are sharing something they found to be a benefit to others. Your comment speaks more about your focus and why you would make videos. So believe what you want but making statements like that is slander and you have nothing but assumptions.

[@strangerpalooza]

No I'm not an employee of either of the co's involved here...if I was...or if I ever become that, I will disclose it...as a matter of fact I have a relationship with Battle Born Batteries (I worked with them to put batteries in my own van) yet I did this video...we only get money from YT monetization affiliate type sales and selling our t shirts...all of which I spend back on this channel (if that helps clarify anything for you)

[@bearlynormalwetshaver1894]

@strangerpalooza Tell it like it is with transparency & class. Nice!! Just curious, before you responded with such class & dignity, did you have some unpure thoughts.🤣🤣 Come on now, be transparent
