Re: Lithium Ion Battery
Gerry,
We will find out sooner or later. I look at it this way. Campskunk is testing for Roadtrek. If he weren't he would be able to speak freely about what is in his B. Since he is not, I...

Re: Lithium Ion Battery
Yeah, but Roadtrek just spilled the beans on lithium ion. How is that going to go over? I think they have more up their sleeve on that Campskunk van. For one thing it appears they have installed way...

Re: Lithium Ion Battery
I know they originally announced lithium ion with the Etrek but I was under the impression no one actually bought one with that setup. I also see Jim Hammill stating that there can't be any retrofits...

Re: Lithium Ion Battery
The battery management will prevent you from charging with any source until the cells are above freezing. That's what Advanced RV has worked out. The Silverleaf readout shows you every single cell,...

Re: Lithium Ion Battery
Are we being watched? This was posted on Roadtreking:The Group within the last hour by Jim Hammill, the president of Roadtrek. :)

Re: Lithium Ion Battery
You might be right. I just wonder if they are over selling. I am a little confused on the 8 volts because I thought 10.5 volts meant 100% discharge. I'm sold somewhat on lithium ion batteries as I am...

Re: Lithium Ion Battery

Re: Lithium Ion Battery
