Lithium Battery upgrade in Caravan

[@philrodger2716]

I believe this is an eco worthy battery. same connection as my 100amp eco batteries. same problem with the bolts. lol. don.t no what price differance there is. but the batts i have are all right. good video .i live in GB, so my traveling is far shorter then yours . phil

How are you finding the dc mont battery with the 3000 w inverter ? Does it ever cut out ??

[@muddyandsandy]

Pretty good..the battery has been great,but the inverter fan hasn't been working so the inverter beeps and faults out....I have now got a 2000w kickass inverter

Hey muddy. Not seen where you storage box is maybe one above the battery tray into the van? I have a vivid cross like an urban haze and had 2 boxes for agm outside like that and a spaghetti junction of wiring with multiple terminals like that. Don't know how caravan companies can get away doing that multiple power leads into one terminal. Dodgy as. Great idea to take back inside the positive wires for the loads and run a fuse box inside the van if you have an opening above those batteries then you can have each individual circuit. Enjoy your new power.. ❤

Thanks for comment, appreciate it..yeah the wiring is shocking, nothing labeled...a terminal box would be better for sure

Hi ! A Great video, Just one question, do you have a smart shunt in your system. These work like a fuel guage in your car. These are the only thing that will tell you the remaing capacity in your lithium battery. They can also tell of the terminal voltage, the current that is going into and out of battery, time left to discharge as a percentage, I have used a Victron smart shunt and a bonus is that it ( along with other victron devises ) blue toothed to my phone.

[@muddyandsandy]

I have a redarc one...yes i love the victrons, a victron one would be good on my inverter..as the inverter doesn't show on my system...I use to have a Bluetooth one in my 79 was great ,but have sold it now ...thanks for the reminder

Hey Great Vid & thanks for sharing! I'm looking at doing the same with my Supreme and agree the wiring is terrible. Do you have any concerns having the battery located where its not fully water proof?

[@muddyandsandy]

Don't really have any concerns with the location..better than in van, pretty sure most lithium battery's have a short circuit protection......but i totally get what you mean if you did a river crossing etc..thanks for the comment
