Bargain lithium battery.

Because its all the other stuff you have to replace to do the job properly. If you could just drop them in and forget about it then yes I would agree.

b2b and switch solar reg to liths, nout all else to do, £50 at tops.

And likely a new 240v charger. So three key elements to change including getting under the bonnet. Way beyond the capabilities of most. If you can do it yourself then fine but most won't be able to and thats when it suddenly becomes an expensive option. Just short of £3k I was quoted a couple of years back for lithium, extra solar and all the bits and bobs fitted. A big chunk of that was labour.

Now there's a thought. If I want a full lithium system fitted presumably I can get it all done in Norn Iron for two bucks? Thats even cheaper than buying tramp cider for Merl!!

I have just bought a couple of lithium batteries. a 200ah and a 100ah, I already have a B2B with a lithium setting, and solar, but I know my Hymer Elektroblock 99's built-in 240v charger will not be compatible with lithium.
I am looking for a decent 240v charger. I might increase the battery size when we eventually start using the van again, so I want to allow for that.
I have found a few, but I would like to hear recommendations based on actual use, not guesswork
