    I'm sure this battery replacement makes your RV more powerful, great job bossman, interesting installation to see.

      Thank you. It is much more powerful, I wish I would have done is earlier. Do you RV? Have lithium?

    Excellent video! I think the hardest thing is getting the nerve up to start drilling holes into your travel trailer.

      You are definitely right about that. I haven’t been that nervous long time and we just finished hiking across Spain ! 😅 Are you thinking about upgrading to lithium?

      I upgraded to lithium-a year ago, but haven't moved the batteries inside yet for the stated reason. Your video and attitude have helped and I intend to complete the move this Fall.@@CruisinwiththeColemans

      @Sadie04074 that’s great to hear, thank you!

    Nice job Coleman’s! It’s not easy working in those tight spots. Looking forward to hearing how you like it a few months down the line.

    Great installation. Ours are under the couch.

      Thanks! How many batteries do you have? Do you have the inverter under there too? No issues?

    • @LivingtheSilverLife
      @LivingtheSilverLife ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No, we don’t have an inverter. We just have a portable one that plugs in. We love our Battle Born batteries. No issues at all.

      Oh, and we have three to run our three solar panels.

    Nice neat clean job Colemans🍻 I like the vent idea 👍, I would suggest a type T fuse at the batteries to protect the wires if someone goes wrong, lithium batteries have a crazy amount of energy.
    Our batteries are under the bed and so far we haven’t had any issues, they will get warm but not bad but the heat will come from the inverter if your working it.
    Safe travels friends

    • @CruisinwiththeColemans
      @CruisinwiththeColemans  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks so much!
      Do you have a link for this type T fuse so we can see it?
      Do you have solar? And if so, where’s your controller?
      We appreciate you!

      We have 4-220 watt Newpowa 12 volt panels, Aims 150/100 controller, 2 SOK 206 AH lithium batteries, and 2 Renergy inverters ( 1-700 and 1-3000watt) wired into a transfer switch.
      We love the freedom being away from power to camp anywhere😎

      I just saw your solar on their Instagram feed. 😆

    I dont know where this myth started about using opposite terminals to connect to the inverter and charger.
    As long as the cable can handle the current, in parallel like this it makes no difference electrically.
    And only way you will get power flowing through like you say is when they are in series.

    • @CruisinwiththeColemans

      That’s interesting, we don’t know either. This is just where our research took us.

    Lithium should be at 80% for storage. At 100% they are under stress. Ideally lithium would only ever be charged/disagreed from 20%-80%.
