Hey guys! In this video we show you how to convert a motorhome (Weinsberg CaraBus) to a lithium ion battery. We explain step by step what you need to do to be able to do the conversion yourself. The Forster battery that we show you here does not require any special chargers designed for lithium batteries. This makes the conversion very convenient. In addition, the battery already has a pre-assembled isolator switch and can be ordered with a Victron Smart Shunt to read the battery status via Bluetooth using an app on your cell phone. #LiFePo4 #Electrics #Motorhome INTRO (00:00) LITHIUM BATTERY FROM FORSTER (00:48) REMOVING THE DRIVER'S SEAT (3:01) REMOVING THE OLD BATTERY (07:46) INSTALLING THE SMART SHUNT (09:18) INSTALLING THE LITHIUM BATTERY (15:41) ADJUSTING THE CHARGER (18:38) INSTALLING THE SEAT (19:31) TESTING THE APP (21:31) * Here you will find everything you need for the conversion: LiFePo4 BATTERY FROM FORSTER (with 150Ah, shunt and MCM function) https://www.forster-batteries.de/128V...
