LITHIUM! for "This is IT" - Huge Upgrade for '95 Wanderlodge Issues Solved - 2024 Ep6 Q18 Rally 1/24

We talk about Chris's Lithium battery upgrade on his 1995 Bluebird Wanderlodge Widebody Motorcoach and solving electrical issues that going Lithium creates. For owners of older coaches that Bluebird took liberties on with respect to wiring between chassis and coach sides, we cover how he solved that dilemma without resorting to DC-to-DC converters. Chris works his magic yet again! If you are even remotely considering a battery swap of any kind, don't miss this video! This is NOT a 'how to do it" video. However, we discuss some issues one faces when converting older coaches of this age, from old fashioned AGM Lead Acids to relatively inexpensive "budget" lithium batteries. For those considering or needing a new set of coach batteries, this upgrade could be VERY competitive cost-wise compared to doing lead. In fact, going lithiums could end up costing less than AGM Lead Acid batteries! Plus, you'll save big time on weight, while greatly increasing your off-grid capabilities thanks to lithium's superior performance..

I have a Fleetwood Discovery and ive just learned from you guys that i cannot leave the motor alternator charging my Lithium battery from it, i guess ill have to do the same thing with mine, disconnect them from the alternator an charge them with the Victron DC to DC charger that way i wont burn my alternator and i should maybe isolate the 3 batteries "200ah" so if one bms not working properly it can be disconnected from the rest. Thank you for the great explanation and why you did it that way. Now i know i cannot start my motor from the house battery 👍👍👍

Glad it helped. Installed my Li’s before last Summer’s trip. Very happy with their performance as we off-grid camp allot. Separating mine from engine charging was easy. Chris’s not so much. Having solar makes Dc-Dc alternator charging less necessary. But can be beneficial depending on your style of camping (shorter stays with more driving).

Thanks. Chris is having a Rally next month in CO. Check the WOG for details. Should be lots of tech stuff as well as great wheeling!
