Lithium Confusion

This opinion is considered invalid by some here who have been using Li batts in their RVs with success in their particular scenarios.

They have not shown that their particular scenarios are like "most RV scenarios", so it is up to them to show how their experiences are in fact typical, and thus why most RV scenarios would work well with Li batts.

The confusion the OP has asked about is over
1.floating vs not floating, and we can add
2. whether to fill to 100% SOC or not.

BB has a list of chargers they consider suitable and some IMO confusing answers to questions on that topic in their website. If it were not confusing, people should be able to just read that and ask no more about it.

It would be of help to hear from those here who have been using Li drop-ins in their RVs what they do wrt those things. Not much has been heard in detail how they actually operate their drop-ins.

Did you read my posts? I said, I've been using 2 X 100Ah Relion drop ins for almost 7 months now, and I have been charging them with a PD 9245/shore power, my MB 220A alternator, and my Zamp solar and ZS-30A CC w/AGM/Lithium settings to top them off. What part don't you understand? Perhaps I can help ?

The OP has made up his mind, see post #12 - no confusion there...

I have decided to go with the pendant mode. The switch to lithium is to gain OCCC and reduce maintenance of the lead acid batteries. Since I leave my coach plugged into a 30 amp outlet, any suggestions on a timer that would work would be appreciated. The idea of using a float charge with the pendant and a timer seems like a perfect solution.

Thanks for your ideas."
I see no confusion or anything about floating or charging to 100% mentioned. Where did you come up with those "resolutions"? Some FLA users have parroted some myths about lithium. Maybe that's where it came from?

As for Battle Borns "confusing answers" - perhaps you're applying FLA knowledge to lithium technology when you read it, and of course, it doesn't make sense to you? Either way, it makes perfect sense to those of us who have bothered to research and ask questions of the various technical support resources at BB or Relion or wherever.

Dude, give it up. You've waded into a pool of 'gators, and you're covered in bacon grease.
