Nice work guys. Seriously, I've been building trucks for 18 years and installed more batteries then anyone should ever do in his life. The way you guys installed these batteries is really top notch. The tray you build is super nice and the cables are perfect. If you took this to a professional, it wouldn't have been this nice. Great job.

Thank you for letting us watch. Helps out tremendously... For those of us who wish to do it ourselves. Probably going to rely on Battleborn for the details from Solar to the batteries, and everything in between.

Well done. The hard part for most of us is finding somebody like Lance who can help install lithium’s and redo the whole system.

WOW! 6 lithium batteries? That's awesome! We got our solar back in February and we love it. We do a lot of boondocking and only have had to "conserve" power a few times. We also only have 2 Battle Born Lithium batteries and they sure were a game changer. If you choose to go solar and want to do boondocking more, you will always have power. We spent on our system just a little more than probably what you payed for the 6 batteries. Keep up the videos and stay safe out there.

Harold, just wondering if your RV/Coach has a residential fridge, as that seems to be our main power hog to date, other than parasitic drain of course? Also, did you install a Battery Isolation Manager so your alternator can charge the batteries?

I finally found the answer to my question with this video... yes, you can drop in lithium batteries in your coach to replace lead acid... with a few tweaks and additions as warranted -- and add solar later if you wish!!! Great video!!

Good video. Battleborn is a wonderful choice. There are several manufacturers of these new batteries. I went with Battle Born because as manufacturers go out of business, I'm the most confident that Battle Borne will be the front runner. They have, in my opinion, the best battery management system to protect my investment. You will rarely hear their name come up without rave reviews about their tech support. They cost allot of money, but I believe they are the best value. Great warrantee also. I'm not affiliated with them in any way. I boondocks several months per year on solar. Now my generator is now only for a back up system.

During my research I found that the Li-Bim replaces the relay that connects the coach batteries to the chassis batteries. The wire that goes to operate the solenoid goes to the sig side of the Li-Bim. You should only have to run a wire from the ignition switch to the Li-Bim. On my Phaeton is at the top of the rack in the coach battery compartment. I am collecting all of my parts now.

I have one of these and love it. That said, you can find good lifepo4 batteries for about half the cost. However, if you are new to lifepo4 batteries (like I was) then I think you still get your money's worth with the battleborn since they have outstanding customer service. It doesn't matter how small your setup is, if you have a question they will quickly get back to you with an answer. And trust me, I had LOTS of questions...lol. They were patient though and walked me through it all. Btw, the battery is over 2 years old now and still going strong.

Hey Phil this video was a great help as I just finished installing my BBBs this past weekend along with BMV712 monitor...question though as I noticed in your old battery setup you had a Magnum dongle in the connections and I assume that was going to a Precision Circuit Power Control Monitor...I didn't see where you reconnected it after the new battery install or did it just become obsolete or redundant when you installed your BMV712? Also on the BMV712 install there's a cable coming off the shunt that in some instructions says to ground and others to load so what is what? I just grounded it to a chassis frame rail...right or wrong or doesn't matter...don't know....thanks and y'all keep up the good work

Can we hire Lance? Great job.
