though I do have a question of course...
this morning the battery symbol on the display is flashing.
which normally indicates a Too Low Battery Charge (which the manual seems to suggest is under 10.5v)
but the house battery charge is looking pretty good I thought - 12.3v
or. is that too low?
we'll be driving today somit will charge
and we plan to replace the batteries with LiFePos

Re: flashing battery symbol
although strange, after I briefly started the engine this morning, and then turned it off, the display indicator dropped quickly to 10.7v > 10.5v > 10.2v.....
before climbing again to 11.x and 12.3v

Hi,
Good luck on your trip. Unless I am mistaken, that panel you are showing only shows the state of the house batteries. Even with my 12 year old AGM batteries, my reading is usually around 13.7 volts when driving or parked in the sun with 200 watts solar. Unless you are ready for installing a DC to DC connection, I have read that you might risk an alternator meltdown with a new Life Po system. Or maybe not. We are soon heading the opposite direction from Victoria to Ontario. My backup plan for a battery failure is to drop in a couple of group 31 AGMs from Canadian Tire. Heck, in another 12 years I will be over 90, so that should last me. Cheers ... Harvey

Re: flashing battery symbol
it's weird.
last night the compressor in the fridge was making a terrible racket - it sounded like a cat was dying in there.
at that time (2am) the display ready 12.2v
thinking it might be a depleted battery (and damaging the compressor system) I turned the fridge off.
this morning we drove only a short distance - maybe 4kms -
and I turned the fridge ON before parking and going for a day trip
at that time it read 12.8v
when we returned it read 11.8v but the fridge was still running and was not squealing.
we then drove a short distance home and parked
the display currently shows 12.4v, the fridge is running correctly and quietly..
we'll see what it does overnight.
but Yes I plan to install a DC DC charger to allow me to charge to LiGePos off the alternstor
