Teaney Hull 292

Holly Cow. Lithionics, way better than BattleBorn. So glad you posted this. And the are in Clearwater, across from me in Tampa

PJ, what ever choice you make on the batteries, the right choice is an Oliver. It’s not just the Trailer, which is fantastic, it’s great fellow Ollie Owner, like Mossey who will take the time to answer your questions, and you will have lots of questions, after you get your Oliver. Hope to see you at one of the Rally’s. Lake Guntersville Rally is at the end of April. You would learn a lot and meet some great folks.

I just ordered the 300A breaker for my install based on your suggestion. Thanks for adding the link. Gary Hull 292

Would you send me the parts you used? Also not sure how your wires are connected. Can you also send a pic of the back of the wiring. Thanks and hope that is not too much of a hassle. My 2 new 280ah Lithiums are arriving soon. Gary Hull 292,

Good advice. Thanks

I too have been watching Will Prowse and he said good things about the Watt Cycle. I got 2 300 amp hour ones they arrive on the 14th of this month and plan is to have them on before we leave for the Rally. Hope to see you there.

I plan on taking my Battery Try out, when I install my new lithiums. Odds are I will never go back to it. If yours is shot, will you want mine? I’ll be at the April Ollie Rally if you are interested. Gary

As is mine in 2017 Hull 292. Gary

Ron, Sorry, I asked about the Alternator before I scrolled down.

Ron, I have a Nissan Armada, known for Alternator/Battery issues. How is your new 320A alternator working out for you? If it is, please send me the info on it and I’ll see if they have one for my Armada. Thanks Gary

John, I just ordered 2 Lithiums for 560Ah. Will need to also take out the battery tray. Would love to hear what you went through to get yours out. Thanks Gary

Wow! The picture with the falls is beautiful. Need to put that spot on our bucket list when we hit the East Coast trip. Our Standard Poodle is Ranger. Got the Oliver because he has separation anxiety when we are gone for a week or two. Now we travel with him. Named the Ollie, “The Range Rover.” We too Love our Knucklehead.

Anita and I do love our Buc-ee’s adventure. Mad house, YES! And it drives me CRAZY when people get gas, leave their car for 20 minutes to go in and shop. OK, Rant over.

Have you installed your Victron 12v charger? I have Hull 292 with the 4045CVS board upgrade to give what I think is ramped lithium charging. Not sure if it is the best option for my 2 280ah Lithium batteries. Thanks for any input. Gary

Will do. thanks

Thanks Roland. Hope to see you at the April Ollie Rally. We are in site F27

Great info. Thanks. Here is what I have in my 2017 Hull 292; The PD 1045 Power Center. Ordered the board 4045 CVS to replace old board to allow for what I think is ramped Litium charging. I have a 180 portable Zamp solar panel. I could not find a solar controller in my basements. Know it works, because Duke, the previous owner, gave a a small portable solar panel to use when trailer is in storage. Plan on getting the Vantrex 3000. There are 2 models, 818-3010 and 818-3015 Marine. I’m guessing go with the 3010? Installing it is way over my pay grade. Have had other owners offer to help at the Rally in April, but I think that is asking WAY too much. Will see if a local boat place has Xantrex install experience. As I understand it, I can take out the Battery Tray, saw your post on how it’s installed when you had issues with the rivets. It will then hold the 2 280Ah batteries. May need some new cables made, put in the 4045 CSV upgrade board and I am good to go, till I get the Xantrex 3000 installed in a month or two, or three. Right? thanks again for your help. Gary

John, you are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks

I thought the red “sht” showed the Black Tank was full on their picture. %^)

Once again you are a great source of knowledge on all things Oliver. Thanks

I just ordered 2 280ah batteries that are 15.12x7.64x10.4. I see other people have taken out the battery tray. My batteries get here April 14th. Your info popped up when I googled removing the Battery tray. Do you know if any other instructions for doing this? Thanks. Gary 2017 Hull 292

I have the Xantrex ProWatt SW. I just ordered the PD 4045CSV replacement board to charge the lithiums. How many BatteryAH will it handle? Or will it charge them all and just take a lot longer time? I’m looking at getting a minimum of 400AHs or maybe 560. Here is what else I have that may matter; 180 watt Zamp Portable Solar Panels & External Solar Port. I see the red wire coming in. Does it go directly to the Xantrex? I can not find the Solar Controller in the basements. Would like to order in the next week to have it set up for the April Rally. My AGMs are DEAD. I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks Gary

Will Follow as I’m about to upgrade 2017 Hull 292

Chris, is the the 4045 CVS Lithium board replacement? How happy are you with it? I’m about to buy around 300 to 400 plus AHs of Lithium and read this should work. I see the board is $184 on ETrailer.

Just so you all know, my brain is overflowing with all the great on and off comments. Love them all. I’ve been cutting and pasting notes, and should have created a separate folder for just Batteries and Solar and install. You are all giving me a college course in Oliver Trailer Life. Thanks
