FYI for now I have a small wire connected to the battery with a 20a fuse on it that will blow if the lithium battery overdraws power from the alternator. It is isolated with a relay so it will not draw the lead acid dead when sitting. This is triggered by the ignition switch. then a direct draw with a 20a fuse at the battery. Eventually I will be putting a small 20a dc to dc charger on there. These will help regulate the amperage draw from the lithium battery. I was planning on doing this at some point. But for now the fuse and small wire should work to protect the amperage draw while driving.
Nice ride. However you do need to research Lithium batteries as when they a are hungery, they can be like a direct short. You need a controller if you are pairing them directly to a vw generator.
yea they can suck juice. I am getting a dc to dc controller. once I get a chance. It is fused so it wont burn up any wires. If it over sucks energy it will just blow the fuse for now.
I will be putting a dc to Dc charger on there pretty soon. for now I have small wire on a relay with a 20a fuse that will blow if it overdraws power Then I am putting a 20a Dc to DC charger. this will help keep the battery up when I am driving. Also I will be putting a solar panel on the roof rack 100w which will bring the battery up a bit when I am sitting For that I will put on a solar monitor. Both are isolated from the Engine battery. Lithium batteries draw more current than Lead acid. which would starve the lead acid if you put large cables on there.

So cool. You're all set to go! Looks great. Clean 🤙🏻
Hey Mike ! fix them up !
NICE!! Also im AV Sundays & Mondays...
Nooice! 😎 STOC

@@Mikefngarage good choice- I bought a 20 amp DC to DC controller as I plan to run generators with limited capabilities.
That's a nice camper Mike. Will the alternator charge that lithium battery?
yes

@@Mikefngarage I was thinking certain lithium batteries have weird charge voltages. I looks like it's more of a care battery.
