It doesn't really matter what battery technogy you use. They all need the correct chargers to get the best out of them
How recent is your Rapido? And what technology are the existing batteries?
Often simpler to replace with like for like.

You don't absolutely need to make any other changes if you go for a low power LiFePo4 - say 100Ah but conventional wisdom is that it is best to fit a B2B if nothing else. Given that you can run a lithium down to about 10% an 100Ah is the equivalent of about 180Ah lead acid. If you want major off grid capability (200Ah plus) you are going to need B2B, upgraded mains charger and solar charger - also likely more solar on the roof.Hi I got wet acid at the moment but only one battery I am thinking of going to two batteries maybe better to stay with wet acid but fit extra one l fitted a smart Victron solar controller so got that far but will have to change the charger to go to different battery’s? Thanks a lot for info
As you already realise it will be the TV that is the killer for you. I suggest you measure up your existing battery and space to install a 2nd then compare prices of lithium and lead acid of the right dimensions for space available. I suspect you know that you cannot really mix the technologies.Hi I have rapido A class 966 04 reg on a Mercedes done 30’000 my battery are linked I have led bulbs it’s just lost TV when wife was watching the Soaps just wanted to up rate thanks
Yes patterns of van use are also relevant to the decision. I am usually on an EHU if staying for more than a couple of nights. It is when I move sites staying only one night that I am without EHU and I am then usually driving for a few hours to the next site the next day. I am geared to two nights off EHU and can cope with three on experience to date but I don't watch much TV and when I do it is more usually on my notebook PC.If it's any use to you I can say I have two enhanced flooded batteries and an 80 watt solar panel. I heve never had the need to charge them when on a trip, the solar and driving charges them just fine and I can depend on them for at least four or five days if parked up with no EHU, all my lights are LED so the only real use is water pump, fridge and the occasional iPhone charge. Of course that is wine the weather is fairly good and not in the dark winder months. In short, I am happy with enhanced flooded and confident they will serve my needs.
