How many batteries and how long do you expect them to last before you fire up the gennie?
MM's new coach will have multiple alternators that charge the lithium inverter batteries, so the generator never has to be on.
like this ;)
Yes, ours will be similar to that picture. We'll have 4 alternators from what I understand and there are 3 Lithium Ion batteries. The Li batteries have a life span of 10 yrs. and can be rebuilt vs. replacement at a much cheaper cost. The current cost is $7K per battery.
I don't plan to run the air on the batteries very often as I think it is a good idea to run the genny as it needs exercise. We'll never put the hours on it that would require a rebuild.
