Compared to the overall cost of RVing they were small change. Of course Lithium ion is even better, but that would be a new learning curve altogether.


Great info...I’m holding on to it for the next swap. Thx a million.

Lithium Ion storage so far, as I have seen in mobile certed batts is still only 12 volt per batt. If one runs them in series to 120/240 volt, it builds up way too much heat.

If the Lithium Ion Batt configuration is laid out to 120/240 right off the bat. There is a ton less heat and they can charge/discharge at 10 times the rate of lead acid.

This takes the entire coach to 120/240 full time. Everything works. Then back feed all the 12 volt appliances to the converter.

You jump energy storage & charge/discharge by 10 fold.
