Yes we spent some time on the phone with Jordan before the install as well as several emails to make sure we were on the same page. Jordan was great in the fact that he told us what was a good idea and what he would recommend or not recommend to do.
Hello Kenney, I enjoyed your video about your new batteries. This is first video that I seen that covers scenario where a person might start out with type of battery amp hours then wants upgrade to a larger amp hour battery pack. Personal for me, I like videos that shows a person fixing or making changes to their RV. If you can, keep making those types of videos.
Hi Mark, Battle Born Batteries & Echo One Adventures believes we are the first to mix battery amp hours. The only reason it. Old be done is because the two battery banks are separated from each other as far as the way they are charged and discharged. Both Battle Born and Echo One strongly discourage mixing amp hour batteries if they are being charged and discharged together, because a battery monitor and bms would not be able to distinguish when the batteries are fully charged due to different full capacities. Hopefully I did not make that more confusing then it needed to be
Hey Haywood, yes, I like having all of the components in one spot and having everything under the bed like this made access easy and very neatly done with no exposed wires or cables
Looks great, we installed 420AH of LiFePo4 batteries 2 years ago, now I am thinking about upgrading our solar, which is currently 4 100 watt panels installed by the previous owner of our Safari Trek in 2015.
Hey Ike, I think now is a good time to upgrade solar as the panels now take a smaller footprint and collect more power. I would definitely look into seeing how much you can get using the same space on the roof
Mark, we have 1200 watts of solar going to the 3 gamechangers under the bed and a 100 watt panel going to the 2 100 amp batteries under the stairwell. Ideally I would have liked a 200 watt panel for them as well, but it wouldn't fit. As of now that 100 watt panel is keeping up with what we use those batteries for.
Hi, I (Kenny) am a very heavy sleeper, so nothing wakes me, but even if I wasn't we can't hear anything happening under the bed. Sabrina is a very light sleeper and everything wakes her, but she doesn't hear anything from the system either while sleeping. It's even pretty quiet with the bed open. I might be able to do a RU-vid short on this subject.
