Re: Travato Lithium Battery Project
I'm very glad that a friend pointed me to your thread. I'm in the process of doing the same thing on a '12 LTV Unity MB. I've been reading and planning to do it "sometime soon", but my OEM SRM-27's reached the end of their lives and I made the plunge. I have 2 SB-100's, a Victron monitor, and I'm waiting for a 60A Progressive Dynamics lith charger to arrrive. So the setup is very similar to what you're doing. I'm anxious to see how this develops for you. I've had a lot of questions about doing this, and up to now neither SmartBattery nor Progressive Dynamics have answered all of them. In particular, I've also heard some discussions about it not being good to continuously move the batteries up to 100% SOC, but it sounds like that's what the PD chargers do. So I'm anxious to get my charger in place and watch how it behaves. I was also surprised to find that the SmartBattery's don't have an internal BMS - only over- and under-voltage protection. Very glad about that long warranty, as I wonder whether they'll really stay balanced. Time will tell.,,,1.7KViews0likes0Comments
