As you will see on another thread that I am having trouble with my lithium batteries.

The phone number I have for Ecotree batteries is wrong. As we are in Spain I am unable to find the correct one. Could some one help with tracing the correct number please.

Many thanks

Waiting for a call back from Ecotree!

Should I go to Norauto (Spanish Halfords) and let them check the batteries?

If they’re anything like Halfords staff I doubt you’d get much joy.

We’re in Nerja now if you’re close by.

Hi I thought you had KS Energy batteries whose app would have helped identify the cause of the discharge?

Many thanks every one . I had along chat with David of Ecotree who was very helpful. It was nice to chat with some who was willing to spend time with and went through every thing from A to B .

Please don’t ask me too many tect questions but to cut along short he made several suggestions for me to try to night and when we are travelling tomorrow. I will of course come back to you and let you know the outcome.

I'm guessing it worked then? Was it solely related to a specific issue in your Motorhome or could it affect other lithium users?

I see a lot of recommendations for Ecotree (mainly by youtubers) but do they make batteries or just stick their label on batteries produced by another company ?

Jongood. It seemed that batteries would not hold their charge. As we have been off grid for the last three weeks, it was suggested that I give them at least 24 hours on mains electric. As it seems that batteries can get lazy! As soon as we can find a camp site which is not completely full we do that.

They should charge up with your solar if your not running/ powering anything in the daytime.

There really is some rubbish information on batteries and power banks and suchlike on this internet thing isn't there.
It was an odd comment to make, and batteries that don't hold their charge tend to be knackered batteries
A flat battery is just that, it's knackered as you so rightly say.

I thought you had 2x KS Energy lithium batteries fitted to your motorhome when it was new .
Have your lithiums charged up any with your solar? Or are you waiting to get on to ehu.?

People have been motorhomeing for getting on for 100 years with one lead acid battery now we have solar , fancy chargers, B2 b, lithium, and hell knows what else, and what do we get , scores of threads of folks with flat batteries.
But dont forget all the gadgets, electrical items tv's, heaters etc microwaves.hair dryers and Coffee makers that people want to use in thier vans with all these batteries.

But we are posh now. :rofl:

I agree with you when our stupid AGM batteries failed in Greece we had to get by with 20 ah of batteries we managed but did have a couple of hundred watts of solar.

Honestly don't know why you don't like these batteries, we have had two now for three years, and as far as I can tell they are still as good as new, never seen them below 12.3, and by 11 o clock with two 100 w solars they will be showing 14 odd .

The two I had in the last van lasted 18 months both failed when we were in Greece what is there to like about them.
. Not just me loads of people have had problems with them.

colyboy - is this what EcoTree told you, the batteries get lazy? Or is this someone else suggesting this twaddle to you?

One of the things I really like about motorhoming (as well as the independent totally flexible travel) is the ability to try new technology. In the case of solar and batteries I gained a greater understanding of the issues prior to applying some of it to the house. I also venefit because I like the flexibility to stop places that don't have services.

Here in Morocco I'm managing not to use their woeful electricity but can still save gas (another issue here) by using my electric gizmos more, kettle, toaster microwave, induction hob etc all from the solar and my hybrid battery setup.

So, are standard lead acid cab and hab batteries still the way to go?
It depends what you want to do with your batteries? if you just want to keep the lights on and run the water pump now and again cheap lead acid will do

If you want a bit more power and capacity and are prepared to spend a bit more I would go for "gel" lead acid.

If you want it all, big capacity, fast recharge, big discharge for inverter etc then LiFePO4 are obviously the way to go.

One thing I am not getting into who right or wrong with comments above.

One reason for buying Ecotree is they give an six year guarantee.
