Alright, here's the sitch:
I have a camper with a bigass deep cycle 12v battery, lead acid.
My skoolie (entirely different system) has two AGM batteries like this, but I'm replacing those with lithium, which means I will have two of these laying around, to be USED ON THE CAMPER???
Now the camper has a built in ... charge controller... thing. Basically if you plug it into shore power, it will charge the battery mounted on the tongue of the camper, and when you unplug the shore power, the lighting and fan and furnace and stuff will run off that battery.
I'm wondering how I could combine these two battery types, I have room in the camper for sure.... but right now the camper does NOT have any solar or anything.
Just wondering if anyone has successfully tacked on another bank of batteries to an existing pop up like this before. I realize I could get a battery isolator, but I think the charging profiles of just a lead acid vs an AGM would be different, no?
