Always remove the negative first. Less chance of a short out. And put negative back on last.

👍 Correct! It's not intuitive with so much connected to the positive, but you are quite right! Current flows _from_ negative to positive. 😎

Not trolling you just a safety tip. Remove the ground wire from the battery first. As you were unbolting the positve first you could easily come incontact not only with the frame but more importantly the propane tank and that would be a major bummer....maybe even fatal if the wrench were to weld itself to the tank. I don't even want to think about that outcome. Nice install. I am about to do the same and I am hoping I can place the battery in the same area as yours.

Thanks for the video, I own two Timeusb 200ah pro batteries for my RV energy storage and they actually produce 230ah, I asked their customer service and they battery actual capacity will be greater than the labeled capacity. Really a great value and have used them for so long They have not had any problems. nice!

Buying the "Plus" version (200ah BMS) of this battery was a great idea. People who want to upgrade their battery bank to a single, larger amp hour lithium battery need to pay attention to the battery specs, especially if their inverter is over 1200 watts. The battery monitering system (BMS) needs to be able to handle the current your inverter demands. Many of the cheaper 200ah batteries only have a 100ah BMS, which means it WILL NOT allow continuous current draw over 100 amps (1200-1300 watts). Amps x Volts = Watts. A 200ah BMS will allow the battery to handle 2400-2600 watts of continuous inverter draw. For even larger inverters, you're going to need a higher discharge-rated BMS, or a second battery to share it's BMS discharge capabilities.

Besides just checking spec sheets to see if one's 12 volt converter/power supply is compatible, but if you have to do something to it, to put it in Lithium mode. Mine required making a jumper wire to connect two jumpers on the back. Believe it or not, that was the hardest part of my conversion due to its location. Also, I had to disconnect solar, as the master battery kill switch doesn't remove the solar charging.

I'm not positive, but I think it's more to protect your alternator from the batteries pulling too many amps.

It is to protect your tow vehicles alternator. A lithium battery can take a 200 amp charge till full so it would fry most alternators in a couple of hours

What size hole did you drill in the floor? I’m guessing 3/4” based on the link to the loom you provided? I was debating between 3/4 and 1” for 2x6gauge wire. Don’t want a larger hole than is necessary.

Hello blogger, the lithium battery capacity of Chinese RVs has reached 12V800AH, and some cars are equipped with 48v200AH lithium batteries. Are there relatively few customized lithium battery manufacturers here? I still don't need such a large capacity battery.

Really enjoy your videos, informative and easy to understand. Question on inverters. I have a Xantrex Freedom Pro 2000 inverter with 300w solar panel and 2 100 amp group 27 agm batteries. I believe this inverter handles lithium, but do I have to adjust any of the setting on it?

There’s a big difference between Lithium Ion and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4). These RV battery upgrades are LiFePo4, which are extremely safe. Look up a puncture test of LiFePo4 batteries on KZitem and you’ll see why.
