I've just ordered an OP4 which comes standard with 1x Imperium Lithium Battery. Just wondering whether the battery indicator built into the trailer (i.e. where buttons for air, fridge, lights, water are located) will provide a combined battery state of charge if I install an additional lithium battery?
AGMs would show 12.8v as full, 12.5v as roughly half full, etc. My understanding with Lithium is that they won't work the same, and just show "full, full, full, full, empty". If you only have one lithium you can use the app they come with, but with two batteries in parallel you need the smart shunt/something else. We are due to pick our OP4 up soon and we have added the Victron Smart Shunt you see David holding at 2:48 because we have 2 lithium batteries installed.
Thanks David, excited to see Lithium batteries for the OPUS OP4. Nicely done.
I dont think i could ever go back to AGM batteries now. Lithium is the way to go.
