I should mention my batteries are first generation. I got the first pack like this. Now they are putting them in two metal boxes in the same location and doing something different. That's about all I...

I snapped this photo midway through assembly. It is an insulated honeycomb fiberglass box. That is all protected by a steel cage and then an aluminum skid plate is under all that.

Spread out? It seems one judges what one company has problems with. My 800ah of lithium ion batteries are in one discreet insulated box with one BMS.

Why surprised? First, we don't know what the two experimental Roadtreks Campskunk and Wendland had that were not put on the roof. When I put in my order Advanced RV was investigating a 12V air...

Did you know Miami's record high temperature was only 100 degrees (1942)? Minneapolis' highest temperature was 108 degrees (c. 1936) and I have experienced 106 degrees (1988 ). I have also...

Gerry,

Yes, I live in Minnesota. I'm not a native Minnesotan. Most all of my RV travel is outside of Minnesota all over the country, but as I mentioned it was over 90F during the whole weekend in...

sammie14,

With the Eco 200 you would have the equivalent of between 3 and 4 AGM batteries. That will get you an overnight anywhere boondocking and probably a few days if you have the second...

No conspiracy. It is plain bad policy and management if you announce and promise something you can't deliver. To add something at a dealer at a later date inconveniences the customer, puts a burden...

Then why the delay? Is it a bad business plan to announce something you cannot deliver? And if not, then what is the delay?

I think you are right. There are too many questions. What compounds this is Jim Hammill's statement about their previous Etrek lithium ion battery failures in his backhanded way of slamming the other...

Marko,

I think you are reading too much into those partial state of charge statements for lithium ion. What is a concern is total discharge and over charging can damage lithium ion batteries and I...

Mumkin,

If you order a Roadtrek 170 EcoTrek are you saying they can't tell you what you are getting and how it will work until you get it?

What kind of battery and electrical information does a...

I suspect the dealers gave Roadtrek a, "WTF?" No way are they prepared to do extensive retrofits and like us might want to know what that "magic" stuff is before making any commitments. I believe...

That should be enough. Campskunk claims to be a weather follower so probably wasn't interested in capacity for air conditioning. Also saw Mike Wendland say neither he or Campskunk had the Voltrek...

Most all lithium ion batteries we are concerned with are 3.2V cells with varying amp hour ratings. More than likely the individual batteries are 200ah 3.2V cells with 4 wired in series to create a...

BobB,

I have exhaustively given a "real world data" analysis in my Advancing Alvar thread with an 800ah lithium battery pack and 420w solar and second alternator. My Advanced RV is similar to what...

Some take aways.

The Wendland Campskunk units are not what they are selling in EcoTrek. They are an older generation.

Did the early Etreks use the Smart Battery or was it some other battery...
