Great basic instructional

You felled to mention two 6 volts deep cycle connected inline with 235 amps hrs as an option
Comment from : @johnlewis1566

Very informative video My 2020 28 ft travel trailer came with a solar panel mounted on the roof The first 4 years the camper was stored in the yard with no overhead cover The camper is now under a carport and the solar panel is no longer charging the battery as much, plus the battery is about dead I want to use a disconnect switch to turn off the power coming from the panel, if any and add a smaller external panel while the camper is in under the carport Going to mount it to the roof of the carport What’s a good solar panel would you recommend?

Lithium are great until it gets cold

New is not always better
Comment from : @divinee155

Aren't they worthless in the winter months? Or highly temperature sensitive
Comment from : @hickboy3067

We always camp with an electrical hookup, however, we’ve experienced power outages a few times at campgrounds So a few years ago I opted to buy two 6V Trojan T-105 lead acid batteries The problem is they are very heavy The attraction of lithium batteries for me is strictly related to their lighter weight because I have a bad back

I am about to replace my 6-100amp deep cycle batteries with Victron SuperCycle AGM 170Ah batteries I don't want to have to change my Magnum inverter and my understanding is that it is too old to charge LiPo batteries I was told these batteries can be safely discharged to 70 constantly and 100 up to 200 times Any suggestions here?

For the love of God, get rid of those awful sound effects
Comment from : @guyrelax

For me I go cheap and old school But I have a 12v fridge draws 6amps but we have a demand mostly to keep the fridge running while traveling And I seem to be not the best on charging back to 100 But I do a good job of battery fluid levels maintenance And I going to generator/invertor vs the onan 4k loud anchor
Comment from : @mrzif0013

What's your suggestion on a battery that also needs to start a built in generator?
Comment from : @MarkIaquinto

I currently use 2 six volt batteries What do you suggest in a lithium battery to get in terms of amp hours? Also do I need to change to heavier gauge cables?
Comment from : @paulborchardt8427

I have 2-12 volt batteries, since you can drain them further would 1 Lithium 12 volt battery give me as long a charge or do I need 2?
Comment from : @MechanicMark613

What about the RV and Car charging systems they are not setup for lithium batteries?
Comment from : @3232rlarson

So choosing the battery I manufacture?brbrGotta love America 😂
Comment from : @markstevens1729

Folks there are some very good charge controllers out there But I recently purchased a VICTRON CHARGE CONTROLLER 100-30 There are no words to explain this product but I can tell you in my words that the quality & the workmanship of this product is second to none I am so taken back on how beautifully this equipment performs The reviews of this product is right on and I highly recommend on a scale 1 to 10 9-1/2 seven STAR
Comment from : @mrp960

Can you use two 6 volt batteries for more amps and amp hours
Comment from : @tomballard4794

Your funny
Comment from : @KOGMIDC

I love the idea of lithium batteries BUT the best I can tell it cost about the same to design a charging system as it does for the battery $3000 to $4000 is a lot of money
Comment from : @kevinbohn2024

This is an RV guy If you research solar and batteries by experts who are actual ENGINEERS, you'll learn that, other than weight, lithium batteries are not superior There are so many negatives to lithium batteries, I'm dropping weight in other ways so that I can add on another battery or two

Great job god bless

When is Big beard batteries actually launching? l am looking to upgrade by the end of the month because I have a lot of boondocking coming up
Comment from : @countrysideworkshop

Do all thatspend All that… or buy a good generator for 1/3 the cost
Comment from : @patrickhall3878

Battery comparison wet vs LiFEPO4 was good But Big Beard Batteries & when to switch?? A couple times now you've shown Big Beard Batteries in your videos and the website doesn't work (at least each time I've looked or searched it)??? I suggest you get your website working before you keep promoting Big Beard Batteries Kind of like an RV Tech showing up to repair your RV and forgot this tools & volt meter

Great info, good luck Todd with your new business
Comment from : @Hugo-Hernandez

Todd, were you starting to say that you had been around as long as lead acid battery technology has been 😅😅😅
Comment from : @WMGamer360

Always learn a lot from your videos This video was great, but we especially liked the bloopers…the song…and more…made us laugh!!!😂
Comment from : @cherylalmstrom7301

Great information
Comment from : @mccarthy7566

Will older converters handle lithium? I'm hearing different points of view
Comment from : @bertkelly7650

Can you talk about what the voltage drop should be before we recharge? I have 4 6v flooded batteries and get conflicting answers on how low to let the voltage drop
Comment from : @craighofer7890

My thing is not rather I want lithium or not it is we have a 2011 jayco Greyhawk and we have only one battery so is it worth it to go and get everything transferred over or wait until we get our next motorhome and that one will be in fulltime?

Comment from : @allan6021

Except, as you explained in your last video, you would have to also switch converter to a lithium compatible unit, that's pricey and not something a weekend warrior rv mechanic can tackle Do you have any suggestions as to a converter/battery combination that is reasonable for the budget? Aloha
Comment from : @konavader

So when a Lithium battery dies they're not recyclable Why doesn't anybody talk about that At least lead acid batteries are recyclable Why not mention 6v batteries, more ah and recyclable
Comment from : @rodl12

I have two interstate 12 volt batteries If I switched to lithium how do I charge them? Do I need to disconnect the camper charger?
Comment from : @calvinchristensen4949

Something you don't address is charge rate You make it sound like I can just drop in a lithium, but its my understanding that those of us with older rigs need to change the converter/charger and our rig alternator isn't up to the task and we will need to make changes in our charging system
