CnC Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 We installed four BBs in our 2013 Airstream and we have re-installed three (they weren't hooked up correctly) in our 2020 Ollie. Couldn't be happier! Battleborn was great to work with in both installations.

rideandfly Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Good interview! Our single 100AH BB battery is working great for us with two 100W suitcase solar panels. 1 Bill & Debbie / 2015 LE2 #75 / 2024 F-150/5.0L / North Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Thanks for posting Mike, Great info. We plan to let our AGMs run the course and maybe consider Lithium batteries someday.

BBL Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I really like Will's videos, my wife thinks he's a little quirky but I remind her he's an engineer. This is a great video and Battleborn makes a great product. I got two takeaways for those of us that will be using Lithionics batteries. I also really like Lithionics, 100% made in USA. 1. Battleborn "is going to install internal battery heaters in the near future" - Lithionics already has internal heaters. 2. Battleborn recommends if you are connected for a long time, like at your house, to "disconnect the batteries". Lithionics has On/Off switches that make this easy. I believe there are many good choices on the market today and people should get what suits them best. I am happy we are going with Lithionics, Victron and Xantrex and we will make the most of our situation. Information sharing is how we all learn, thanks for posting.

Except, our Battle Born batteries already have an internal heater. They are close to a year old. We have two 100 amp batteries in the back of our truck. 🙂 Kirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirk - I did make the mistake in assuming this was a recent video and didn't check the date but, I have to say, I was just quoting the CEO. It's good yours have heaters, and now that I think about it, they have the little jumper wires that connect to themselves, correct? I remember those from the Airstream batteries. Surprised BB has not added a remote disconnect (On/Off) switch. I know there are many ways to do this. My preference was a BlueSea battery disconnect switch. I am guessing your truck has one? Thanks for the continued discussion. Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The batteries have been great so far. I did look into getting them instead of the Lithionics. No way to get 630 or more amp hours of Battle Born into the battery compartment space in the Oliver.
