Our T@B comes with 1 lithium battery.  What are your thoughts on upgrading to 2 lithium batteries?

thanks

    IMHO use your new trailer for a season.
    See what type of camping you do; short dry camps (boondocking), longg dry camps, more nights in a electric utility camp site then boondocking, whatever.  Then decide if you need more battery capacity.

    I've dry camped up to four days with an AGM battery, that has half the useful capacity as your Li-Ion, and a 150'ish max watts solar and have never had battery capacity issues {I do have a 3-way, propane option, Fridge).

    Just curious. Did the lithium option change in 2024 for the 320? My 2023 320 came with two lithium batteries from the factory.

    The base 320 2023 and 2024 package is 100 AmpHr Lithium battery.  You can upgrade to 200 AmpHr.

    @jamesdn1948 - did you special order or did you buy off a dealer lot?  Dealers can order and then offer TaBs with upgrades.

    We purchased off the lot.  We pick it up tomorrow, and will make our first journey next week.  That will give us an idea of what we need / want.

    I definitely recommend testing everything out first to get a feel for your camping style before adding any additional batteries. Once you get to know your usage and needs it will help you determine if you want to upgrade.

    It was bought off of the dealer lot. The build sheet just listed it as "200 amp hours of lithium". Don't know if it was a dealer ordered upgrade or not.

    We bought a 2023 "dealer demo" T@B 320 off the lot and it came with a lead acid battery. Nothing in the spec sheet that they gave us said it comes with a lithium battery, but it does have an upgrade to a lithium battery charger and power inverter.  While boondocking for three days, lead battery was done after two days, with camper parked in partial shade.  I'm thinking of upgrading to an Epoch Lifepo6 105 amp.
