Lithium Battery Starting Generator

[reactancexl]

Being Lithium does not have the cranking amps compared to lead acid, will a 12v lithium 100 AH lithium battery be able to start a generator and or operate the slides or hydraulic leveling? Does anyone having any issue with this?

I have 2x100ah lithium and start my Onan 5500 with it without any issues. No problems with any other load in the trailer. Only having 1, it is *possible* your BMS could trip due to the rather large starting current, but most will handle a really high discharge rate that will carry the load long enough to start it. 2 I would say good, 1 I would say test.

I was planning on using 2 Li Time 100AH batterries, so it sounds like I will be able to run everything. thx

I don't have an Alliance any more, but I will say we get about 20 hours out of our batteries using the inverter for the residential fridge and some miscellaneous entertainment / small load stuff without solar. With solar, we can stretch that out to a couple of days pretty easily. Just offering up my own experience here for you, as always ymmv.
