of interest:
2020
WINNEBAGO VIEW 24D 315 AMP HOUR GTX BATTERY AND STERLING CHARGER
UPGRADE MARCH 2021
The
Mercedes Benz 3500 Sprinter van chassis is both popular as a
base chassis for RV manufacturers as well as "Do-it-Yourselfers".
The Lithionics Battery lithium-ion house battery upgrade is
relatively simple in that we do not need to cut into/ tap into
any of the OEM Mercedes wiring and by adding/ connecting a Sterling
Power BB1230 12 Volt DC to 12 Volt DC battery to battery charger
with 30 Amps output, we do not void the Mercedes OEM alternator
warranty. On the 3500, it is often equipped with a 220 Amp alternator
but Mercedes only wants secondary battery systems to use up
to 40 of those Amps or else you run the risk of burning out
the alternator. The Sterling Charger needs two 8 or 10 AWG tinned
copper marine power wires (check cable charts for length of
your cables and the required cable size) run from the engine
start battery (with a 50 Amp inline fuse) to wherever the charger
is located.
The
above photo is a top view looking down. You can see the white
box in the lower right labelled Sterling BB1230. This is the
30 Amp Sterling Smart Charger which has been custom programmed
using the "Custom" setting on the charger. In very
hot/ southern areas we may choose to mount this charger under
the RV in a waterproof enclosure to prevent excess heat buildup
in the now sealed and inulated battery compartment. Otherwise
we can use two black plastic round louvered duct air vents on
the vertical part of the step.
Notes:
1. The Lithionics battery takes up less space and weighs about
1/2 the original 2 battery weight.
2. Like with many refits, the space becomes tight with the addition
of the sheet metal, insulation and Sterling Charger. The OEM
inverter cables are not long enough as is the DC power cable.
As such we don't really have the luxury of laying cables out
nicely as we'd like - its more a case of you have to work with
what you can fit.
The
image above shows the originally installed AGM batteries
- as well as the signs of water/ mud getting in the compartment.

LARGE
SCALE LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES FOR RV VAN CONVERSIONS
With
the rise in popularity of high roof vans by Mercedes Benz,
Dodge, Nissan and others Lithium-Ion batteries specifically
designed for the needs of the RV (Recreational Vehicle)
and Van Conversion Customer!
NEWLY
DESIGNED TURN-KEY SOLUTIONS -
GENERATOR-FREE RV's:
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Conversion using Lithionics and
Xantrex systems. Click on the image for a larger one...
Let
us help you take the guesswork out of choosing the right
system for you! You supply the Mercedes, Chevrolet/ GMC,
Dodge, Nissan or other type of full size van and we will
connect you up with the following components:
1.
A powerful and lightweight Lithionics lithium-ion battery
with NeverDie Battery Management system
(BMS).
12 Volt, 24 Volt and even 48 Volt configurations available
from 200 to 600 Amp hours capacity or more... The Mercedes
Galleria van conversions come equipped with a 600 Amp hour
Lithionics system that can power the air conditioning for
8 hours or more before recharging.
One of Our Best Values: 450 Amp Hours
Low Cost Per Amp Hour
This
Battery Replaces Four or More Lead 8D Batteries
and Saves you Over 650 Pounds!
See
the Master Battery List Below for Choices...
2.
A powerful and efficient Xantrex SW 3012 inverter-charger:
This
powerful and efficient inverter has 3,000 Watts of 120 Volt
AC power as well as a powerful 150 Amp battery charger.
We can also set you up with power cabling, Class T fuses
and other hardware. Capable of running most roof-top air
conditioners with power to spare. We can also network 2
of these to offer 6,000 Watts of inverting power or offer
you smaller 1,000 or 2,000 Watt models.Get
more information on the Xantrex Inverter-Charger Upgrades
on our Inverter-Charger page...
3.
A powerful Alternator upgrade.
We offer Balmar, DC Power Solutions and Nations alternators
with up to 350 Amps of output with 180+ Amps output at idle.
Available as single OEM alternator replacements or custom
dual alternator upgrades.
Get
more information on the Alternator Upgrades on our Alternator
page...
We also offer Balmar
and DC
Power Solutions High Output Alternators.

|
Lithionics
also endorses Wakespeed external Voltage
regulators like the WS500 - which
can also be controlled by the Lithionics
NeverDie Battery Management System by using
the Lithionics "Marine" 23 pin
Ampseal connector and specifying "CANbus"
on the BMS box order.

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION FOR MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER VAN
OWNERS:
Some
customers may want to keep the OEM (originally
installed) Mercedes alternator instead of
upgrading to a high output
Nations Alternator. There are several
critical limitations of the OEM Mercedes
alternator - including that Mercedes does
not permit greater than 40 Amps of current
going to battery charging as well as the
fact that these alternators do not offer
a float Voltage of 13.8 Volts.
As
of January 2021, we no longer recommend
connecting a vehicle or boat motor's alternator
directly to a Lithionics Battery if the
alternator does not have a Wakespeed or
Balmar external Voltage regulator that offer
proper multi-stage charging. Instead, you
can choose one of the Sterling Power battery
to battery chargers that would connect to
your engine start battery and then recharge
the Lithionics Battery when the engine runs.
The Sterling products have an ignition sense
wire so it will only run when the engine
runs.

Summary
Sterling Power BB1230 12 Volt
to 12 Volt DC battery to battery
charger "Custom Charge Profile
Programming Instructions"
for the Lithionics 12 Volt, 315
Amp hour GTX internal BMS battery:
-
Step 1: Connect the Sterling
Device to a 12 Volt power source/
battery with appropriate fuse.
- Step
2: Remove the access cover at
the bottom of the charger to
expose the two programming buttons.
Note: Do not quickly press
the selection buttons as they
are a bit slow to respond.
- Step
3: Press and hold down both
buttons for between 10 and 20
seconds - we recommend 15 seconds.
- Step
4: This override all factory
settings and allow us to use
the "Custom Settings".
With the right button press
it to move the illuminated LED
all the way down to the bottom
which is a hard to see faint
red LED "Custom" position.
- Step
5: Press both buttons for 1
second.
- Step
6: Now we set the bulk/ absorb
charge Voltage. Press the right
button until the two LEDs labelled
14.6 and 14.2 Volts are illuminated
(LEDs #18 and 19). This position
indicates our desired Voltage
of 14.4 Volts. Press both buttons
for 1 second to lock it in.
- Step
7: Using the right button, navigate
to the LED # 20 that says 13.8
Volts. Press both buttons for
1 second. This sets an intermediary
float Voltage.
- Step
8: Use the right button to illuminate
the LED # 6 labelled 13.4 Volts.
This is the float Voltage that
we want. Press both buttons
for 1 second to lock it in.
- Step
9: Now we need to set the minimum
absorption time. Use the right
button to scroll to LED #4 (LED
22) = 120 minutes. Press both
buttons for 1 second to lock
it in.
- Step
10: Now we set the maximum absorption
time. Use the right button to
select 360 minutes which is
LED #8. Press both buttons for
1 second.
- Step
11: If you like, in this step
you can program the low temperature
shutoff function of the Sterling
Charger. For the Lithionics
batteries we suggest that you
set this to +3 or +4 Celsius.
This will turn off the Sterling
Charger in cold and very cold
temperatures so that it does
not trigger the Lithionics Battery
cold temperature intervention
that will shut off power to
the Lithionics Battery if there
is battery charging detected
and the battery is at or below
0 Celsius.
- We
are now done and the green LEDs
should flash and the device
should beep and reboot.
- NOTE:
The buttons are a little tricky
to work with so we suggest programming
the unit on a workbench and
you may have to go through the
process a couple times. Click
on the PDF logo below for a
copy of the instructions.
