Newmar puts two in the King Aire, and some other models…so does Foretravel and Renegade if not more. It is needed in coaches with large power needs like running a/c off of the inverters while driving. Nothing different than my Prevost coaches other than they were 24v and the Newmar is all 12v.

Just wondering if it was a long time member or new member taking a liberty?

Single inverter/charger = putting all your eggs in one basket?
If switching from dual to a large single, some cabling size would need to be increased.
-
Yes but I’m keeping my 2812 that are 5 or 6 years old, I replaced the old Heart Xantrex black inverters that were 20 years old
-
Wow, Victron is definitely taking market share away from all of them.

Jon:
Your 50DN is adjusted for the Li house batteries, what charges your chassis batteries?

As Mike said, it is for the gen 3 antenna

If you can install a Bus Bar for your + and – that would be the best. You might not have the time. My Bus has a bus bar, all my red cables are the same length, my black also.

I have had Li batteries for 5 years or so, and Relion said the same about series/parallel, until it did not work. I guess technology has changed, but having been burned once (thank you Relion for doing the right thing) I would want some guarantee in writing.
-
Art, if you have the LiTime App you can setup the batteries 3 ways. Parallel, Series or Parallel Series. How is the install coming are your inverters connected up?
-
Mikee, All batteries grade A are coming out with their own BMS. As long as they are the same brand, size and voltage, they can be wired in series. Not a problem.
-
Jon, the batteries Art has have a BMS with low temp cutoff which is like 30 degrees. He will be fine living and traveling around the west coast. I disagree with your statement regarding series parallel connections. Lithium can be wired just like AGM and lead acid.

Step #1 Old batteries out Damn they are heavy, Had them out before but they seem heaver, or I’m older, New batteries all in and blocked in place
-
Battery compartment is pretty clean no rust not bad, I drew a schematic of battery wiring, Today I’m turning off AC power turning off DC power,removing 4 AGM Lifeline batteries, It has a tough rubber floor that I have painted blocks screwed through rubber into floor that I will adjust for slightly smaller batteries, I want to get batteries positioned and re blocked to floor today, Next step check out cables, Then stop for the day it’s Sunday, I’ve talked to Don Beard and Jonthan Fine about resetting the MS2812 Magnum’s for Lithium and reset Victron 712 BMV

IMO that’s overkill. if you follow this path, It is going to take you 2 months to get them installed. If you are set on charging them individually you can still use your inverters to charge them one set at a time, then hook them in parallel.
