Lithium battery storage

[FD44]

What’s the best option for lithium battery storage? I’ve got a 364BHL and just installed two Dakota Lithium 100ah but they don’t fit in the factory battery tray. Looking for options. Thanks

Many brands offer a "mini" version that is smaller than the typical group 31 battery.

Vigorously recommend you ONLY consider purchasing one with a "smart" BMS that allows you to see the individual cell voltages.

I have the batteries already just looking for a “box” or tray to put them in in the rv.

Since you have a 5th wheel and should have ample space in the front compartment where the factory box is located, just remove the factory box and install whatever you like. I have two 100ah heated lithium batteries (Group 24) and they both fit in the factory box with room to spare.

Some 5th wheels use a stacking rack for batteries with no boxes, so a box isn't required, especially with lithium batteries that don’t have to be enclosed in a vented box.

Our Battle Born batteries fit in the old battery boxes. Left them in the front compartment where the original batteries where located. Check Amazon or other RV supply places for battery boxes.

They really don't need to be in a box. I have mine in the front storage of my 5'er, braced so they don't slide around, and a piece of plywood on top to protect the terminals. Adds a nice shelf.

Amazon has a variety of battery trays. So does Walmart. I replaced my factory tray with a larger tray to fit my larger battery. They are not expensive. Measure your battery so you can get the correct size.

We have the 364BHL as well (Hero edition) I may have went overboard with battery power and got a 560AH lithium.
I removed the battery box, and placed the new battery where the old one was, used some shallow U-Strut on all 4 sides screwed into the floor to secure the battery, so far so good, it hasn't moved (then again I haven't rolled the camper) LOL

Best plan I’ve heard so far!! Thanks
