Lithium batteries RV

[BeardownAZ]

Anyone use them? Likely gonna convert my next trailer to them. Will just change the inverter guts in the electrical panel to an upgraded version that can charge at the higher volt’s lithiums require to charge correctly. Wondering if there was any decent, not brake the bank, brands anyone like for 12v lithium batteries. Looking at maybe a single 200-300 ah battery.

I have Ionic lithiums in the bass boat. They have been awesome. Seems like a lot of guys are buying the brand Li Time for the cheaper end of lithiums. I would check those out.

I’ve got some LiTimes in my decoy trailer to run motion decoys and my light bars on it.  No issues so far and they are priced real similar to lead acid.

Just buy them off Amazon.  They all come from the same factory in China.

This is the latest one I bought.  Had a brand new lead acid group 31 deep cycle that would only run the light bars on my decoy trailer for about 45 minutes.  Replaced it with this (same lead acid was $175 and this one was actually $189 shipped when I bought it but no core fee) and I ran my light bars for 2.5 hours and it was still at 13volts.  There’s truly 4x the power in one.  They claim they’ll last 10 years.  If that turns out to be true it’s an incredible value as I’ve been replacing lead acids about ever 2-4 years.

Yeah the long range claim makes it more then worth its if true. All of it just seems better other than the initial cost depending on brand you buy. How about the apps? Did yours have the app to monitor charge level etc?

It does.  Never used it though so no help there.
