Tranquility Lithium question

[MrFeetz]

Hey all. I have a question I was hoping to get help with. I have a Thor Tranquility 24P with Reliable Lithium package and I'm looking for where the Lithium batteries are installed. When doing the walk thru I has assumed they under the rear sofa bench with thr inverter but upon going thru things last night discovered they weren't. Anyone know?

I hope this isn't as stupid a question as I think it is. :-/

Try looking under your motor home. The batteries are sometimes placed under the coach in a cage/tray to save space.

Thanks. After inspection, I discovered that the lithium batts are installed under the coach, in a batter box inplace of where the generator would normally go. I dont know why, but I was just assuming Batts would be inside. Ty

I think it depends in part on lithium battery chemistry. I have noticed that lithium iron phosphate chemistry, which is one of safest, is often placed inside. Other automotive chemistries are often placed under vehicle in an enclosure that permits temperature regulation/control.

The now common lithium iron phosphate battery shows up in numerous places inside RV where extreme cold temperature can be avoided by just keeping RV warm enough for humans and pets.

Obviously, placing batteries outside saves interior space so there is that.
