I’ll buy the 2nd round. It’s all good,.

You are welcome any winter to visit us in Tampa

Another reason we love this forum. Even the Master learns here.

So your 460AH Lithium batteries will run the AC for a few hours? We have the 13,500 Dometic Penguins

Oh, did not know about 2 Lithium batteries, means 45 amps with the new 4045CVS board will only charge 22.5 amps. Will have to camp in cool months/up North.

Looking at adding about 600AH from your earlier comments, Have 380 portable solar. Will add the Lithium and the 4045CVS board and see how that works.

Well said. Thanks

With the 45 amp upgrade, maybe 3 times longer. Spend more now, to save money later??? Or jump in all in. Decisions, decisions.

Craig, I often go the path less traveled, and end up in the briars and brambles. For $184 I can add the 45 watt charger board. I also am looking at the Xantrex 3000 watt to get the higher amp output. May just go with the 45 watt board and see how it works with my new Lithium batteries.

Good to know. Will check on this.

As always, good info. thanks

Look forward to the pics

Derek, that is a very kind offer. Odds are, I’m going to get the suggested 2 230Ah Li Time Bluetooth batteries. In process of upgrading the Board for the Power Converter, the thing I call the Fuse Box, with part PD4045CSV to charge the batteries, or upgrade to the Xantrex 3000 with the built in Charger. It also charges at a higher amp. I’ll keep you posted as we get closer. I’ll be at site F27. FYI, I put the pictures of all the things in the storage areas. Not sure where it ended up in this forum.

Great info. Thanks

Great info. Thanks. Just so I’m clear, you can run the AC off the 300ah batteries through the inverter?

Just so I’m sure, if I get the 60amp, instead of the 120 amp Victron, it will take 2x as long to charge them. Thanks for clarifying this.

Thanks Craig.

WOW! I was thinking around 3 140Ah giving me 420Ahs. This could Rock my Boondocking Dreams.

If I may, I would like to take you up on that offer if I can’t get it done before then. Gary

I followed Craig’s very informative post, and Progressive’s replacement board to correctly charge the Lithium batteries is $181. Good install info on their site.

I’m in the same moment with Hull 292, a 2017 sweet Ollie. How much is your upgrade expected to cost? I’m thinking, new 3000 Xantrex, cables, around 400AH of Lithium, new cables, fuses, bus bars, and someone smarter than me to put it all together.

JD, that settles it. No Xantrex install at Rally. Thanks

This is another GREAT example of me reading this and feeling like a Monkey trying to do calculus. With that said, wonderful info. If it took you doing all this for your changes/upgrade, then, I do not think it makes sense to do it at the rally. I got great advice to look at getting the Lithium replacement Model # PD4045SCV 45 amp for the Progressive Dynamics Power Converter System, what I call the fuse box. It allows the proper Lithium charging. It’s $180.29 on ETrailer. I think, I could be wrong, if I put in the new Lithium Batteries, add this part, I will be ok with my current Xantrex ProWatt SW 2000 for now. Also was told I had to change the solar charger for the 180 Portable Solar Panel I have. Will now research that. Thanks for letting me know if I’m on the right path. I really do appreciate it. I also hope another Ollie Owner who shares my lack of knowledge will get good info from all the great advice others are giving on this thread.

Thanks. I’ll check out the plug in board possibility

Been watching the RedoDo tear downs and from what they see based on BMS stickers the same company makes LiTime, Power Queen, and RedoDo. I can fit 3 140amp batteries where the 4 AGMs are now. I posted pics in this thread of what I think are all the components of what I have now. I have no idea how to reprogram my solar charger. Will get on You Tube to figure that out. My current Xantrex is the ProWatt SW. Can I program it for 420 watts of Lithium? I’m willing to upgrade to the newer Xantrex 3000 Watt, there are 3 on Amazon and not sure which one to get. Will research that too. Will also look at the Progressive Dynamics charger. Have Portable Suitcase solar now, and would worry about that till I get to the Rally in April. Saw some great. Posts on where to order custom cables with the lugs on the forum. Solar Experts put the solar on our house and did a GREAT job. Will reach out to them and see if they could help with install in Tampa. Was also told a lot of Boat Companies install Xantrex and I should also reach out to them. JD, thanks again for your reply and thanks for all your great posts on this forum.
