Let me try again:) It's 10F and you're driving the road with engine drawing power from the battery. How does the battery get charged if the battery heater is turned off?

I wonder if a relay can be used to control BB heater.

If you forget to turn the BB heater on then driving down the road the low temp + low voltage will disconnect the battery.

and..... ...it uses 50% less storage space. ...voltage drop for large loads (inverter) is half

Lithium is a much better battery......if it is kept warm but not hot. I have 4yo lead (suppose to be 800Ah but it never was) acid that cost $1,200CDN. It's been used in temps down to -21C/-7F. Warm air from the furnace keep bank above -12C /10F. Lead acid is really heavy and charge times...

Fully under the cost and install for singles and suspension upgrades on both 5500 and F550h then make your choice.

Nylon stretches 10% Polyester stretchered 2% Tow straps/ropes can be made from polyester or nylon. Recovery straps/ropes are made from nylon.

There's apps and detection tools for ultrasonic sound that air leaks make.

For the number of times this may happen with a set of jumper cables you can jump from the 12V Lithium to one of the 12V (24V bank) batteries at a time. To speed things up 2 set of jumper cable can be used. The 24V lead acid will self regulate.

We used Carter fuel pumps plumbed in parallel (ball valve on each side) to prime filters and fill day tanks. They move allot of fuel (8psi) and take allot of (water/sluge) abuse. The 3 nuts come off and the steel vanes/impeller can be serviced. Edit: Forgot to include a link...

Clevis to Clevis turnbuckles have a higher rating. I've replaced the threaded pins with lynch pins
