In addition to that they said the main engine has an autostart (similar to the ones for generators) when the batteries get low. (Also included is 190watts of solar.)
I'm guessing they mean 5.5kWh batteries for 11kWh total.
Very interesting, here is the video:

You can find a bit more information on the lithium system in this thread:

The alternator was mentioned as a 280-Amp unit, but charging at a realistic 200A is probably more like it. The mentioned 160A charging from Inverter/Charger is good info to have.
I’m interested in this system, so had done a little research. My guess is that the batteries are something like these 400 Ah units rated at 5.5 kWh each. I’m mostly wondering what this lithium option may add to total cost. No doubt 11 kWh of battery capacity can run most things for many hours, including the air conditioner, but if it’s in range of $20k like Winnebago’s Travato, that’s a bit much. We’ll have to see on lithium pricing.
