My AGM to Lithium conversion
Here is a quick article I wrote on my adventure going from AGM batteries to Lithium. http://rvbprecision.com/rv-projects/rv-lead-acid-agm-to-lithium.html http://rvbprecision.com/rv-projects/rv-l...

With sufficient solar, a part time rv'er using agm may start every trip with the battery bank at 100%.
If shore power is limited, as it will be on my next trip, the battery bank will be totally full by morning. My main use is doing load support as needed.
I have a dc to DC charger waiting to be installed. That may help with charging while trundling down the road. The way things are now--my house bank sends energy to the engine battery. I'd be better off not having the dual charging circuits active.
The best bang for the buck are "reconditioned" agm from places such as the local Interstate store. These are batteries used in cell phone towers. When one battery in a string goes bad--they are all replaced.
Cost 5 years ago was $1 per amp-hour.
No one attempts to get to 100% state of charge using a generator unless they have no other possible choice.
Itinerant1 has proved that he can run anything on his RV as though it were connected to shore power, including the air conditioner.
I just wish I could afford my beloved SiO2 jars. Revenue Canada is clawing back every penny of the assistance from CRB that I collected in good faith. $8460.10 would have purchased a rather nice battery bank.
