Dang - if we think about it, we have owned our vans before phone video conferencing.
Call me (503 292 5592) and I will show you what I did - it would just be easier.
This is what I did without any issues so far.
I did install Sterling Power BBW12120 120amp Battery to Battery Charger 12V to 12V charger which was very easy AND kept the old automatic charge relay that can be manually activated and simultaneously deactivate the 12V-12V charger - allowing for an internal jump of engine batteries. Note: 370A alternator is installed. Also, the 12V-12V charger has an accessory remote control panel (Sterling Power BBRCN) that allowed me to customize specific charging parameters of Battleborne, per factory recommendations.
Order from: mmarineonline.com NOTE: this is the primary charging of my batteries. Solar second, and easy to adjust settings. Using the inverter as a charger is used only while in storage, but honestly, LiFePO4 is best stored significantly less than full capacity.
I also used the industrial temperature controller to turn on and off the Battleborn heating system - this was referenced elsewhere on this forum and I will not give further details here.
OH! AND a shout out to Rixen Enterprises -
https://rixens.com/ - they sell all Espar systems nationwide. -- Are designing and sell a 280Ah battery with the same footprint as one 100Ah Battleborn (1" taller at most). Also great for rebuilding ESPAR, great YouTube videos for self-maintenance, etc.
Prosign Custom battery settings:
NOTE: Absorption max timeout - 30 min per battery. 2 batteries 60 min, 4 batteries 120 min. I have three batteries, there is no 90 min option on my ProSine 2.0 firmware. So 60 minutes is the setting.
(BattleBorn Factory said settings below are all good!)
