Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
That is what I did in my past 2 vehicle. On the Venza (2009) there was a accessory +12V (cigar lighter plug) in the back. That one is ON on accessories, so it is on when the engine is running, off

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
Thanks again, Dave.? Your solution sounds like maybe the best way to do this type or set-up.? I was thinking, however, of using a 30 amp DC-DC charger as I have a 10 gauge wire coming from the

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
Every TV has at least one circuit that is only hot when the ignition is on. You can find these circuits within the fuse boxes that all modern vehicles have. Then just tap onto one of these

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
I ran into this same dilemma when I installed my DC-DC converter/charger, so I ran 8awg wiring from the TV start battery positive (AND negative too), through a 50 amp fuse and an ignition switched

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
Bob, I think the point that's being missed here is that one wire can be connected to 2 locations.? So if the power wire from the TV to the trailer shuts off when the TV engine shuts off, you can

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
Dave, this sounds like a great idea, but just wondering what you wired the relay to so it would turn off with the engine.? I imagine it would be necessary to find a circuit that is only hot with the

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
I've mentioned this before, so let me be clear: with the Renogy DC-DC converter/charger, the trigger wire does NOT need to be connected via a separate wire to the TV ignition! Just wire it to the

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
Actually, it is legal to tow with propane on in all states.? Its only illegal in some tunnels and on ferries. I saw a survey that said 70% of RVs tow with propane on, because its so difficult to get

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
Towing your trailer while the propane is burning to operate the refrigerator is not legal in many states, so please investigate carefully before you do this. Also, propane has a habit of blowing out

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
I installed an SOK 206Ah LiFePo4 battery in 2022.? As mentioned above, the converter does not charge a lithium battery properly.? My battery is still hooked up to the converter, but I have 400 watts

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
If your bargman power wire isnt shut off by the tow vehicle when the engine is off, you can't use the victron charger that doesn't have the additional wire option, because there no way to turn off the

I went for overkill on the solar with 2-175 watt Renogy flexible panels and a MPPT controller. The panels fit perfectly on the front dormer with the controller mounted in a weathertight box next to

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
I just did an on-line chat with Renogy re my situation. The reply was that they would not recommend installing a lithium battery in the camper without a DC-DC charger.? My original avoidance of

Re: Lithium ion phosphate battery
It is true that the standard converter in a liners are not setup for lithium. (Maybe the new aliens are?) So you can go one of two routes, change the converter, or bypass the charger on the converter
