E-mail me I will show you what I did for a lithium battery upgrade.
4 ,, 100 amp hour battelborn batteries,
powered by a victron 3000 watt inverter.( corrected)
this will proving about 4 days of battery power.
due to the different charge rates you must separate the lead acid chassis batteries and the lithium house batteries, then provide a charing system for the chassis batteries.
a 2-5 amp charger should be enough to keep the chassis batteries charged while the coach is idle.
I also installed a 30amp DC to DC charger to charge the house while the engine is running.
we have the system in service for about 1 year, 0 problem so far.
