Looking for Lithium install in Southern California
Hello,
A friend of mine just bought a 2019 CS and it needs batteries. He is considering installing Lithium over AGMs. He is looking for a shop to do a complete integrated install, not just slap some batteries in. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Thanks.

I just replaced the AGM batteries and upgraded to 2 400watt solar panels in my 2022 Aspire. For the 2022 Aspire the only real changes in addition to the batteries was the Victron MPPT solar charge controller the. I did not need to replace the Magnum Inverter charger because the Vega Touch system was able to set the Lithium Charge profile.
I had a guy in a Phoenix suburb do the whole thing for a very reasonable price. If you are willing to drive to Goodyear you can have him do the install. He works from his home and has a place to park next to his drive. The spot is large enough for a 45' coach with four slide his Name is Justin Reedholm number 802 628 7967 email JSR86@COX.NET
Just for reference, live in Iowa. I had this done on my snowbird trip.

Here is a step by step instruction for his year Entegra https://www.irv2.com/forums/f278/upd...ml#post6744477
After much research, this is the Lithium battery I will be going with when the time comes. https://panbo.com/epochs-new-460-amp...esting-begins/
Being a Native of Calif, getting it done in CA will be the most expensive place in the country to have it done. Just the rent alone is 4 times higher than next door in AZ. Also many experienced companies in AZ that specialize in solar and Lithium.

Lithium batteries
I had my put in by Holt brothers in Phoenix. They did a great job. I had my motorhome in storage they came to the storage location and had it all completed there.
