Hi All, I am in the process of installing Lithium batteries and other componentry in my trailer. ie Inverter, charge controller, battery monitor and solar panels etc. The new battery bank will be installed near my breaker panel and other controls. I feel fairly comfortable with everything that I will be installing. That comfort is due in part to my small knowledge of electricity and a massive amount of how to videos available on You Tube! What I am lacking is any information on how to re-route the existing wires at the battery box on the tongue of my trailer. The other question I have is what I need to do to get my generator (Onan4000) started. From what I have read, the Lithium batteries are not recommended to start the generator. I figured that I could put a lead acid battery in the existing battery box and use that to start the generator. The other issue that is then created is how to recharge the SLA battery. I haven't found any information on if my new charge controller can charge both Lithium and a SLA battery. If anyone has any information on my dilemma or can point me in the direction where I might find an answer, I would welcome any advice or input!
