Changing Lithionics Battery 2023 Micro Minnie FLX 2108DS

[Steph-WO]

I have been fighting with Lithioncs/Winnebago for months and I am just tired. My 320Ah is 4 years old but not holding a charge. I am going to change out but the one issue is that the Litihonics 320Ah battery uses a snap‑in BMS port for communication with the Xantrex controller and auxiliary power system, as well as to connect to the breaker. As far as I can find no other battery has this feature. Does that mean I have to totally rewire to install a different battery. There is no way the Lithionics worth what they are charging, except Winnebago owns then and ahs engineered the trailer to make it hard to switch.

Check with the folks at SFK. They build very high quality batteries with multiple communication options for ~1/5 the cost of Lithionics. They may know how to communicate with your Xantrex system. Their batteries are also somewhat smaller, so you may have room to increase your battery capacity, if that's something that interests you.
