Replacing Lead Acid Batteries With LiFePO4 Battery

[jetskilife]

2000 Winnebago Adventurer 32v. Replaced two lead acid with fully charged 12v300ah lifepo4. Within seconds of turning on coach power, 30a breaker trips. Why?

Greetings jetskilife,
Lifepo4 batteries require a special charger. Your 2000 Adventurer was designed to charge lead-acid batteries. I suspect the Lifepo4 batteries are drawing too much current for a specific voltage, but I am not totally sure. Many others on this forum are well versed in Lifepo4 batteries, and I am sure some will chime-in with their real-world experience.
Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Eagle 5.

Battery was fully charged. Replaced converter/charger and needed to cycle charger. All is good.

ALL Battery Technologies only Offer there Ah they are Capable/Rated of Supplying !

You can have a 600Ah LiFePO4 or 600Ah Super Capacitors Energy storage.
If you have a 1W Globe or a heavy draw Starter motor or Inverter ...the Energy Storage will ONLY releases the Power the individual items Draw.

I suspect if you are Blowing a 30A Fuse as what ever you are Using is Drawing is Greater that 30A.

NB Everyone using multiple Battery Configuration SHOULD be Drawing Negative from the First Battery & Positive from the Last Battery !

This is something I find a lot of people Think it is better to Draw Power from one Battery ! The problem doing that you are Over working the first Battery as the Power in NOT equally Drawing from all the Batteries in the String.
