Lithium battery install

Great video!

Thanks for the video. The only thing I noticed is you did a great job with the wire gauge from the batteries to the inverter but looking at the wires on the batteries linking them in parallel they appear to be around 6 gauge wires? I recommend increasing that wire gauge to pull the full 2000 watts from your inverter. 168 amps potentially going through those wires would need a minimum of a 2 gauge wire. Also your inverter looks to be a modified sine wave. You can use that for resistive loads without issue (such as a hot plate) but anything with a motor, compressor or sensitive electronic you may want to start clear using because it’s giving off dirty power and may damage your items.

Yes, thank you for your comment. I bought the inverter used. I really never plan on running air or my hot water heater off of that inverter mostly just for our lights and receptacles for my TV. But as you said, I may time up the gauge of wire going from battery to battery. Also check out a video or two after this one. I have now ordered a 400 W Renogy solar panel system would like to hear your thoughts on that and so also.

We upgraded to lithium just over a year ago and we are so glad we did! You're going to love it! Nice job.

[@journeywithmikepenny8861]

Thanks. Do you have Solar? I have just ordered a 400 watt kit to put on

[@CruisinwiththeColemans]

@@journeywithmikepenny8861 Yes, we have lithium and solar. Love it. We have install videos on our channel. ❤

[@journeywithmikepenny8861]

@CruisinwiththeColemans I will check it out. Thanks

[@jefframsey7879]

Very informative!

[@journeywithmikepenny8861]

Glad you think so!

[@jefframsey7879]

I enjoyed your video very much ! I learned from it!

[@scottwakefield6756]

Good video...I, too, am planning on doing something similar to my trailer. I like the battery box you used. Can you tell me where you purchased it? Thank you.

[@journeywithmikepenny8861]

There’s 10 of them on Amazon, but that particular one I bought was harbor freight

the only main thing to do is NOT one Fuse one for each Battery Cheep Insurance

[@journeywithmikepenny8861]

Never seen anyone do that but not a bad idea
