Our energy use and expectations has increased as we want to charge more electronic goods, electric bikes etc. In the motorhome and caravan. Installing Lithium batteries is a good solution because they are efficient with a large capacity and weigh less.
Simply replacing the standard 12-volt regular lead-acid battery with Lithium as a house battery is not as simple as you might think. The new battery will be connected to a lead-acid starter battery, a solar system, the 240-volt AC charger, and the engine alternator.
The battery charge criteria is critical with Lithium batteries because they are sensitive to overvoltage and heat. Therefore sometimes the AC charger needs changing as well as the solar controller, depending on what is currently fitted to the vehicle. Prices may vary from vehicle to vehicle depending on what is already there and whether we can reuse existing cables.
Late model motorhomes now have smart alternators that behave very differently than traditional ones. A special interface is required to regulate the flow of energy from a smart alternator to the lithium battery
