Best place to buy lithium battery.

[Carl1974]

Having recently spent a few days in the lakes I found that my leisure battery kept going almost flat, to the extent that I couldn’t use my night heater. I have a split charger but can you tell me if this will support the charging of a lithium battery.
Can anyone tell me the best place and what type I would need please.

nope . . . that a VSR. (voltage sense relay)

you will need a DC-DC charger.

and a New Battery.

in your case . . .


what i could do is swap the Durite on the engine bay for a MIDI fuse,

that will give you a fused link tio the seatbase . . or where ever your Leisure Battery (LB) is fitted.

id then fit the DC-DC charger next to the LB in the seat base.

then install the Lithium battery . . .


with that DC-DC you will be able to add solar at any point, hard wired or mobile.
