9 INSTALLATION Steps to Install Lithium Batteries in an RV: • Prepare the RV: Disconnect the old lead-acid batteries and remove them from the RV. Clean the battery compartment and remove any corrosion or debris. • Install the Lithium Batteries: Start by connecting the positive and negative cables to the appropriate battery terminals. • Install the Battery Monitor: following the instructions on the battery monitor, install the components for monitoring the power system. • Connect the Cables: You should connect the positive cable to the positive terminal on the battery management system and the negative cable to the negative terminal. • Test the System: After the cables are connected, you should test the system to ensure everything is working correctly. You can do this by turning on the RV's appliances and electronics and checking the battery voltage and state of charge. If a power inverter is installed in the unit, also try and turn that on and run an AC load to test that portion of the system. • Charge the Batteries: Once the system is tested, you should attempt to charge the lithium batteries before returning the RV to the customer. You can do this by connecting the RV to a power source and viewing the status of the charge controller. CONCLUSION Upgrading an RV or travel trailer to get more available power is one of the more straightforward upgrades that can be offered to a customer. When paired with solar, a lithium-powered system can easily take them off grid for days or weeks without the need to plug into shore power.
