I am hoping to find salvaged batteries in good working condition for my 2017 Carado Banff possibly from a wrecked class B Roadtrek van. Must be EcoTrek 200 ah 12 volt lithium.
 
You may want to look into replacing your Ecotreks with Epoch 300Ah batteries. Edge Vanworks in CA sells DIY kits or will install them for you. Northeast RV in PA will also do it for you. Epochs are cheaper and way better than the problematic KS2 Ecotreks.
 
Thank you, John. My son just found them and we watched a video on it. We’re gonna make one more attempt to try to “wake up“ the EcoTreks. if it doesn’t work, this co. will probably be my only other option.
 
If you go with the Epoch batteries, be sure to ask about changing the Balmar settings. Also, if you have solar, you'll need to change the charge controller settings. I'm sure that Edge Vanworks or Northeast RV can assist you with the proper numbers.
 
Thanks again. Do you happen to have a phone number or some other type of contact information on them?
