Really like that the LiFe are about 31 lbs. instead of 95 lbs for wet cell batt. Which inverter do you recommend? we have a 2 way refrigerator so power consumption for cooling is not the issue.
Have NorCold 4 door refrigerator (2 way) the door seal flap for the left lower door does not return to fully seal against the right door, We have to open the right door and pull the flap into place.
Any suggestions?
The satellite connection for input from antenna does not power up the dish.
Did Jayco install the correct splitters which allow power from receiver to the dish?

I originally put in 2 - 125Ah AGM but have now switched to the Battleborn.
With AGM you can only discharge them to 50% without degrading them so my 250Ah is only 125Ah usable, plus 140 pounds, plus they charge fast to 80% and then get really slow.
3 Battleborn is 300Ah and I can use all 300Ah, plus they weight 90 pounds and charge fast all the way. It’s almost like having an extra solar panel, only downside is cost but to me is worth it. By the way buy them direct from Battleborn and if you buy multiple batteries you can usually get a good discount.
I have a PD 4500 with a 60 amp converter, it never seemed to finish charging the Battleborn’s. I called PD and asked if I could buy the Li converter they sell and swap it in, they said yes and gave me a retailer to call. Very easy swap and now they charge up all the way no problem
