Sandy,

Thanks for the report. Your lithium install was the inspiration for ours (and our subsequent solar upgrade too). I really like the aesthetics of your flex panels on the curved Airstream...

Thanks for reminding me of that link. I just posted my experience for those who were reading that thread. For now, I have a solution that "works". If I can find the space I may add the DC-DC...

I switched to the PD4655V just before they came out with the LV lithium version. I have that. My plan is to press the 14.4V boost mode on the Charge Wizard to give a final fill up before leaving a...

Lithium installed!

I wanted to let people know that I have installed the 100A Battleborn battery into our Bambi, ala SanAndVin who led the way. I did the system design, while a great nearby RV mechanic, Kyle, did the...

I ordered the PD4655 in early August, so I got the "pre-lithium" model that requires the charge wizard to get to 14.4. I would have waited if I had known a lithium-specific model was coming out.

...and worth it!

Yes, the lithium battery was expensive, but everything else is the same cost as an AGM-based system. And, even with all the costs, it sure beats getting a new TV if the hitch weight exceeds 500...

I hope to have Lithium within a few days

Well, I pulled the trigger, and ordered all the parts, including a battery for a lithium system. I'm following many of the details used by SanAndVin. Same battery and mounting location- with long...

Thanks Sandy,

Ah- you had the trailer prewired for the Zamp connector- so you already had both wires. I'll have to check mine if I can get an extra wire into the cabin. However, in the mean time,...

Thanks Sandy! This is excellent information.

I do have one additional wiring question. What wires do you run to the A-frame now? Specifically, do you run 12v, solar voltage, or anything at all. I...

Great solution!

Sandy, your husband is clever indeed. That's a great location, and the 100AH Li battery essentially doubles the capacity of the 80AH AGM, while dropping tongue weight over 30 pounds. Thanks for the...

Thanks Sandy!

That is a great bit of news indeed. Also, I was considering Battle Born, so that's even better. I'll have to look under the seat in my 2006 to see if there is room in mine. I'd be...

Anyone put lithium batteries into their Bambi?

I have a 16' Bambi. I'm considering using one of the new Lithium 100AH battery replacements for AGM to double the capacity, and decrease the hitch weight at the same time. I could just replace the...
