MORE ABOUT THIS VIDEO We’ve been snowbirding in Arizona for three months now primarily boondocking on BLM land or attending week long events where we’ve dry camped the entire time. WHY DID I CHOOSE BATTLEBORN LITHIUM BATTERIES? I did NOT want to build my own lithium battery pack: I was looking for a reputable ready-to-go drop in solution with these characteristics: 1) At least 400 Amp Hours in a form factor that fit my small class C storage compartment 2) Built in high quality BMS with all the safeguards (not external BMS) 3) Long life (10+ years) 4) Long warranty (7-10 years) 5) Zero maintenance After evaluating several brands, sizes, reviews I decided to go with Battleborn. WHAT ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT WAS NEEDED? My RV was already set up for boondocking and off-grid use. I did have to replace my Converter/Charger which was not lithium compatible (see below). Removing the AGM batteries and replacing them with 4 x 100 Amp Hour Battleborn 12 volt batteries was the most significant part of the project. CHARGING FROM SOLAR: My programmable Victron Solar Charge controllers were already compatible with lithium. There were minimal adjustments needed. Here are the recommended settings from Battleborn. https://battlebornbatteries.com/progr... #rvwithtito #rvsolar #boondocking CHARGING FROM SHORE POWER - Converter Charger Upgrade required: I replaced my multi-stage Progressive Dynamics converter charger with the PD4655LIV lithium compatible model.
