Watch his first one on Lithium what a pillock.
Wow which info has been wrong then?
He couldnt sort the BMS out on his first ones and his it kept shutting down his batteries without warning so went back to standard, now hes changed again to Polinovel lithiums instead.
I don't think so.
You might have seen the advert in the magazine for EcoTree Lithium They have approached me this week with an offer that might be good for you if you are thinking of upgrading to Lithium
They want to offer up to 5 Funsters the opportunity to buy one of their £699 batteries for just £300. However, in return, they ask you to review the battery, the installation, etc, and later in the summer when you have used it for a while let them know how it compares to your original setup, etc. so that will be two reviews, good or bad they want you to be honest. You agree to let them use the reviews in their promotional material.
That's a considerable saving but they will also fit the battery free of charge! So this could be a great deal for you. If you are interested then please fill this form.
If there are more than five interested I will draw five winners from a hat.

, would be a good investment so 
Yes it will, we run compressor 12v fridge and average 50ah per day. That’s 25-30ah for the fridge and the rest is other things. The great bit is we use less lpg, and more sun energy.
He did not understood Li behaviour and stuck with old lead. He misinterpreted the use of battery monitor and wrongly set it up. That gave him wrong info and was abusing his Lithium’s. Then he blamed the batteries for his mistake with the monitor. Batteries did very well and performed as intended. Instead of going back and start again, see where he might of gone wrong, he put the blame on batteries. Far from the truth. I picked up on his mistakes within minutes of watching his vid. A real gentleman would re evaluate and update where he was going wrong, helping community from his mistakes. Lithium is a great upgrade from Lead and will be with us for a while.
I would be happy enough charging these on a standard lead acid charge profile as the voltages should then be slightly below the recommended LiFePO4 figures but it does them no harm to be held slightly under charged well actually it is better for them, a B2B would be a useful addition as it maximises the charge rate when driving and its more important to be fully charged after being on the road than it would be parked up, likewise LiFePO4 profile in solar would be good as you want maximum battery capacity in case it is dark and overcast the next day.I wondered about the battery charger, I know my solar controller has a lithium setting.

So just the expense of installing lithium and a compressor fridge..... to save a bit of LPG... Mmmm
Not knocking Lithium at all....its just the expense is hard to justify for most users.... now if prices continue to drop to ab out half of where they are now i'll be first in the queue...
Hi Zepp, Do I understand that you have fitted these lithium batteries, if so did you need to change anything on the Cartrhago charger unit. Is it a case of a straight swap out of the batteries.
I never had this make fitted we had transporter lithium batteries fitted
Maybe that applies to you, we certainly did no go through that. We started from 0 a self build PVC, and energy efficiency was priority no one from the start. A absorption fridge takes 5 to 7 times more energy to cool compared to a compressor. Also lpg in the wild can run out, the sun not so much. It suits us.So just the expense of installing lithium and a compressor fridge..... to save a bit of LPG... Mmmm
