RV Mods: Is it worth getting just a single lithium battleborn battery?
50,230
Published 2020-09-26
ℹ️ IN THIS EPISODE: We replace our standard RV lead acid battery with a Battleborn 100 Ah 12V LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery and a Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor with Bluetooth. In addition to installing these, we decide to relocate and move the battery into the storage bay instead of on the hitch of the trailer, which involves a few modifications. We also messed up the install initially and had to start again...what an idiot! (Count how many times we said this)

Thanks for being so honest! There are NO DIY'ers who haven't screwed up at some point in a project. Hell, even professional installers mess up. I appreciate your posting this video to help people, like myself, upgrade our battery. Your video was helpful, which I'd take as a win. Thanks again
-
Good catch! Saved the day. Can't wait to see you having fun RV boondocking! Cheers!
-
Thanks for posting. Stay Calm and RV On

This is a great video for people who can't spend a fortune on a whole set of Lithium batteries. Great idea and good job on the instructions. Things always can go wrong, but at least you make the best of it and tell everybody. I can see this getting a lot of views very quickly. Good job!!!
-
Our rig came with 1 lithium battery, and we were able to get a second one. We highly recommend lithium too. great job. ~ Brad and Diana
-
Thank you for this. We have the same model RV as you and I have been contemplating remodeling the basement like this for some time now to prepare for a battery upgrade.
-
Your going love the performance of your Battle Born, and The Victron 712 keeping you in the know... Our 3 Battle Borns float at 13.2 volts, makes water pump , furnace run at their peak, regardless their all on at once, even when battery level down to 20%... Enjoy...
-
You did a great job of sharing all of this in an entertaining way. That isn't always easy to do. Congrats on your new POWER! 😂 Now that you got a little taste of what this does for you, the question is, are you ready to upgrade yet? 🤣Had to ask. ❤️👍👏 Donovan & Jodi

Great Job! I've made plenty of mistakes myself. When I do, I just pray they're not expensive once!!!
-
Sweet. I see this as the road we go down after we get the FW back from it's visit to the shop. Will need to see how much our residential (non-propane) fridge uses...
-
OK... Got the YouTube thing going on... wear a Ball Cap almost always... but have not pulled the trigger on the batteries yet.. Great video! Thanks for sharing and maybe costing me some more money... haha.. thanks!
-
Great ideas!! Thank you
-
Thank you. This is the 1st video to upgrade to lithium battery without upgrading solar too
-
Social media presence ✅ Always wear a ball cap❓I don’t have a good one yet lol Battle Born Batteries 🏃🏻♂️ on the way! Michelle really isn’t going to like you after this! Lmao 🤣
-
Hilarious! We are still not sold on these batteries. Great video though.
-
Thanks for the video.
-
At least you kept up your streak of how easy (not) your tasks go. Um...the 12.5 inches reference caught me off-guard - LOL! How do you weather-protect the wiring stuff that's underneath the trailer?
-
I would put a Perspex door so you can see the stuff
-
Thanks for the video. Well you show us also your mistake and that's nothing bad about it. A lot of people doesn't show their mistake and also never accepting when they did one. You are an honest guy and well done.
