Apologies in advance for the lack of knowledge on my part, as I'm new to this. I'm planning on modifying my battery systems to replace two 12v lead-acid with LiFePO4 100a batteries. I've been trying to put together as much information as I can,including a post on the same topic from July 15, but have some questions as I'm awaiting some info from Grand Design service folks.
1. Where is the voltage converter located on the rig? I've read in the forum on larger units it's located behind the aft wall of the pass through, but before I take it apart, I'd like to be certain.
2. What is the best type of voltage converter to use with the Lithium batteries? Does that require additional equipment related to battery monitoring or charging?
3. Are larger wires required from the battery to the converter than are supplied with the original equipment? Existing original wires seem fairly small in gauge.
4. Any concerns about whether the Lithium batteries are compatible with on-board equipment?
Thanks, Pete
