*Update* I beefed up the battery box mod seen in this video. See in this new video - https://youtu.be/nHC5i1P_8hw

In this video, I detail the installation of my new 3 Lion Energy Safari UT 90AH 12V lithium batteries.

*Fair Disclosure* I received the Safari UT batteries free of charge from Lion Energy in exchange for a review. However, I’m not sponsored by Lion Energy and received no monetary compensation for the videos. Opinions are my own.

First, I show how I charge the battery using my PD9260CV InteliPower charge converter. The new batteries come only partially charged due to shipping regulations.

I needed to charge each to 100% before I could wire them together as a parallel bank. The PD9260 with manual boost mode of 14.4VDC did the job.

Next, after screwing down my Century Plastics battery box, I install the three new Safari UT batteries inside. For wiring, I was able to reuse the 2/0 cabling from my old lead acid 4 battery bank.

I used the foam packaging from the new batteries as insulation and shims to keep the batteries in place and then used a ratchet strap to snug them down.

Finally, I show how I set up my Trimetric Monitor and Bogart Solar Charge Controller combination to properly charge the new lithium battery bank.
