Battle Born Change Out

You need to have a couple of "smart" contactors..

One to cut the circuit when the batteries hit 14.8 on the charge, and one to cut the circuit when the discharge hits 10.4

You need to protect those batteries both for safety and for longevity

The only system I am familiar with uses a smart battery monitor to control the two contactors .

We have decided to wait until we get all of the components together and an install plan in place before hooking up any of the batteries. We will just get by with the present deep cell that is in their and charge off the truck as we head west to get the camper in Washington and south to Arizona. It will teach us to conserve right away.

Great plan. When you do the system you will truly appreciate the lithium all the more having lived without it. Wise!
