    @Davkelly007 - I know at least one person posted who has this upgrade.  I believe  @Trailpixie has this package, so perhaps some pricing can be shared.  I'm assuming retail will be expensive with that expensive battery on there.

    Hi,

    On the MSRP Nucamp Order Form (dtd 4/2024) , it's $7105.  Looking on line, a Multiplus is around $1200 and the battery is around  $2400 (I think if I have the right models).

    Thanks. That's what I was thinking. Pretty expensive install

    Yeah-- you would certainly do better simply buying some other brand of battery and inverter -- and installing it yourself.

    Having done a similar install, I would add about $500-$750 for wires, fuzes,  switches, and incidentals and that seems generous.

    I bought my 2024 320S in October. I decided not to pay for the lithium upgrade, since I knew I only needed an inverter and a second battery. Did the work myself, with the selfless help from Battle Born (support) and Victron (Facebook). My intent was always boondocking and being a snowbird. My needs never included a microwave, and if I plan my routes well, will not need air conditioning much. In a pinch, there is always shoring at an RV park.

    I am going to post a lessons learned on my TAB 360 Black Canyon with lithium, but I will say this:

    It is complicated and a bit overwrought. The complexity is high. The battery is so powerful that I think the solar panels are going to struggle to recharge it to full unless it is high-sun in the middle of summer. It's battery heater and the poor performance of lithium charging in the cold make it a poor choice in the shoulder season. Stay tuned as I learn more.

    @Trailpixie

    I don't know why you think is has poor poor charging. Battleborn batteries charge temps are 25-135 degrees.

    And solar should not have any difficulty charging the battery. With the solar on the roof and an external solar panel I have no problems keeping my 400ah battery bank charged.
