    FulltimeBill,
    We boondock without the gen running at night while we sleep.
    Lifepo4 house batteries are to our bus 12v house electrical system what LED lights are to our bus lighting system, a wonderful upgrade/update.
    My Lifepo4 batteries provide:
    improved safety protection (BMS),
    almost 2x more usable battery power without increasing the size or # of batteries,
    many times the life expectancy (they’ll outlive me),
    2+ x faster charge times,
    easy inexpensive install
    and all this for less cost initially and a fraction of the cost long term.
    The BMS in each battery protects against:
    Short Circuit
    Battery Overvoltage
    Battery Undervoltage
    Battery Cell Overvoltage
    Battery Cell Undervoltage
    Charge High Temperature
    Charge Low Temperature
    Discharge High Temperature
    Discharge Low Temperature
    Charge Overcurrent – Primary
    Charge Overcurrent – Secondary
    Discharge Overcurrent – Primary
    Discharge Overcurrent – Secondary
    Battery Cell Balancing
    And there is still all the protection that Liberty provided in the original build.
    Liam,
    The Prevost normal travel “ride height valves” always set the ride height to the owners “set height” regardless of weight added or subtracted.
