Any thoughts on replacing an existing wet cell, group 24 battery with an equivalent lithium battery, such as: https://www.lynaclithium.com/product/12-8v-100ah-true-series/ Here's a related article: https://rvdaily.com.au/12-pros-and-cons-of-lithium-batteries/
A DC/DC charger is only necessary if you want to charge your lithium battery from your TV whilst going down the road. To charge the lithium battery from the mains/AC shore power, you need a lithium capable charger. If you have solar, and a MPPT controller, you can set it for lithium battery charging, and the solar will top…
Turn the battery switch off and don't do anything. A fully charged battery will hold a charge for months. There is no need for .....anything. My last camping trip was November of 2019. I have a small battery that has been sitting on my garage floor since then. It still is registering 12.4 state of charge. 15 months. A…
My thoughts (as someone who's switched to lithium): * It's a lot of money and IMO not worth it unless you camp without hookups quite often. * For people who like to run the air conditioner a generator is probably a better allocation of money. * The stock converter doesn't do a great job of fully charging a lithium…
Most TV will only trickle charge the TaB battery, so this is not an issue, even with lithium batteries, so I would not worry about modifying the 7-pin connection. Cheers
@NCNative - if I use an external charger, can I use the lithium battery with the existing converter? I got the new lithium battery a few days ago, but so far I'm not able to get the Alde going. I will check the circuit breakers and fuses in the trailer later today. Hopefully it's something minor. Update: replaced a blown…
Thoughts on best practices for maintaining the lithium battery? I store my T@B 320 S in the driveway. I estimate that I will use the trailer for short trips once a month or so. How long is too long to leave the battery in the trailer? I bought a lithium-compatible battery charger/maintainer. It has an outside air temp…
It's a debate because the lithium batteries do not magically 'create' power, allowing you to use more. They are simply vessels that store power. There is something else at play here - like increasing the storage capacity and adding additional or more efficient charging equipment. There is nothing special about lithium,…
And you can discharge them to a lower level, getting more useable power. They also maintain a higher voltage longer as they discharge, keeping the voltage above 12 VDC during the discharge cycle. But once they get towards the last 10-15% of their charge, the voltage drops quickly. This is what Mellow Yellow is seeing on…
We replaced the front tub with a truck box style box. It holds both batteries, propane, and various other supplies. The new front box is probably the third best mod, behind the lithium batteries, and a Lagun table mount.
