Anyone have experience with Kimberley Kamper Lithium Batteries
« on: October 25, 2016, 08:00:17 PM »
Hi first time poster so here goes.

I have recently purchased a 2012 Kimberley Kamper that has been upgraded with Lithium Iron Batteries. However, i cannot find any detailed information on the maintenance and general use of the batteries.

I know you are not supposed to drain them by more than 90% and that you should not overcharge them. Does anyone know if the Kimberley Kamper has built in protection against this or is this something i need to monitor?

Any help would be great, i have not yielded any useful information from the internet.

Thanks for any assistance.

Firstly welcome.
Best to check with KK for their recommendation.
In my non KK I just turn off the main battery isolator.
I was recommended and have read for Lifepo4s to leave under 50% charge and isolate, to ensure no parasitic current draw that can kill batteries over long term storage.

Cheers Glen

I have emailed kk today to see if they have a set of instructions for my trailer. Am hoping they have good support for people buying second hand trailers.
