Fantastic! One small problem though ...
Just installed one 200ah Lithium Ion battery (received within 5 business days) to replace the 4 6volt house batteries ... what a huge difference. I ran a test last night and went 14 hours running the coach off the inverter (disconnected from shore power) running the TV's computers, receivers, fantastic fan and a sound machine all night.
With 4 good 6volt batteries I can do this too but in the morning my battery life is in yellow and lately on my 3 year old batteries, I'd be in the red and need the boost button to tie all 6 together to start the generator the next morning.
This morning I was still in the green which was pretty amazing as that has never happened before.
If you research lead acid batteries you will find that they all pretty much false advertise .. if a 6volt says 100ah the rule of thumb is that you cut that in half so it's really only providing 50 ah (that's a condensed explanation).
So 4 6v batteries ... people think they have 400ah of power when they really only have 200ah or less!
Expensive at $1200 but with the 10 year battery life and no maintenance or dangerous, explosive gasses, its well worth it. You also can't hurt them with too much discharge or run them out of water unlike lead acid.
If for a motor home ..make sure it has a cold temperature cut off, these do, cheaper models may not.
Seller was very responsive to my questions.
***************** One small issue ******************
The lugs provided were way too short to bolt down the +/- connections to my new Lithium battery. Luckily I had longer ones with same thread size and this worked perfectly (see pics) short ones are what comes with the battery.
