Camper Van Lithium. We find the Lead Acid Batteries are toast so time to upgrade to Lithium. Part 1

Before you raise any comment please note: As stated in the video this is not the completed installation. We have solar and other works to complete. It is not possible to include all the detail in in just 30 minutes of video! Part two will follow shortly. Part 2 here. https://youtu.be/xd2R3VjAjQw Having to stay in the UK for a few months we need to be sure the Camper van which is new to us is working and in tip top condition. The starter battery was old and needed to be changed and when we checked the house battery that was only holding 60% of capacity. We renewed the starter battery and upgraded the house battery to lithium as it was a Black Friday deal we got a bargain 200Ah/2560Wh LiFePO4 battery. Adding a BM712 from Victron and a 1230/12/20 Victron smart charger means we have a great setup with only the solar to add. Here is what we did to the van and yes it was freezing cold!!

After Brexit, a "Pandemic" and major heart surgery we are still sailing, documenting our travels and showing you what we have learned so far. We are hoping to complete our journey, and travel right around the world even if we have had a few setbacks along the way. We will continue at our own pace and that may be fast or slow. We want to be sure not to miss anything and have stories to tell our grandchildren when we are old and grey. We do have a second channel YOUR DRONE TV It is a mix of music from classical to blues, from Opera to Punk all with stunning drone footage.
