RV LITHIUM BATTERY UPGRADES · KELOWNA / OKANAGAN
A lithium conversion is more than swapping one battery chemistry for another. The existing converter or charger, solar controller, tow-vehicle charging, cable size, overcurrent protection, disconnects and monitoring all need to make sense with the new battery bank.
The goal is to understand what is already in the RV and what needs to change before choosing battery capacity.
Sometimes the physical swap is simple, but the charging equipment and protection still need to be checked. A converter, solar controller or tow-charge circuit designed around lead-acid batteries may not be the best match for the new bank.
Capacity depends on the loads, how long you want to camp between charges, how much solar or vehicle charging is available and whether an inverter will power larger 120V appliances.
A shunt-based monitor is often useful because lithium voltage stays relatively flat through much of its usable capacity. It can provide a much clearer picture of energy going in and out of the battery bank.
Send the basic RV information, the loads you want to run and a few photos. That gives Heeler RV Electrical a useful starting point before equipment gets recommended.
