What Killed Our RV Lithium Batteries?? Our 8.5 Years with LiFePo4

In 2011 we built and installed a 500AH GBS lithium battery bank into our 1961 vintage bus conversion. We were amongst the first to use lithium as a house RV bank.

Despite some learning curves in the beginning, the pack served us well - until we stored our bus. When we got it out of storage last fall, the bank was dead.

What killed it? We share 8.5 years with lithium, what we think happened and what we replaced our batteries with (disclosure - our replacement batteries were provided by Battle Born.)

(This was filmed back in Dec 2019 - in what seems like a different world - from our RV lot in Benson, AZ.)

We have a fleet of nomadic vessels that we split our time between - a 1961 GM 4106 vintage bus, a 1999 Bayliner 4788 motor yacht and a 2016 Travato 59G van conversion. You'll find RV, van and boat life content here, as we feel inspired to share - sometimes topical, sometimes travelogues, sometimes just hanging out.

We love sharing a slice of our life with others, and also blog at http://www.technomadia.com, Facebook and Instagram. We use the name 'Technomadia' in all those places. Come join the adventure however you choose!

Income generation is NOT a goal of ours under the 'Technomadia' brand - we do this for fun. While not an expectation, sharing the love back sure keep us inspired to keep sharing. Ways you can say thanks here: http://www.technomadia.com/thanks (but honestly, leaving comments is awesome!)
