On a Southwind 35k, I am going to change out my 6v wet cell batteries to lithium. Because most lithium batteries are larger than standard, has anyone move them to inverter area? I want to use 4 100ah batteries.

Hi
maybe someone can share some valuable advice regarding my planned upgrade to lifepo4.. Just picked up 2 (two) 300ah lifepo4 mini's (for my double-nickels bday ) that will barely fit under the step of my 2021 fleetwood flair 29m class A gas.. (these new 300ah mini's are flooding the market now for well under $400) - i'm a champion boon-docker so need all the power i can get..

I already purchased an upgraded converter (pd9360) to replace the stock wfco.

from the pics you might be able to tell my issues will be how to wire these new batteries, since they are 12v and not 6v they will have to be parallel...
also I'll have to lop-off the plastic handles in order to get these to fit into the same space as the existing lead acid.. I think the existing wires should be sufficient. Also bought a 1000a victron shunt to add to the mix..

any help with issues that may arise that i'm missing and not anticipating would be greatly appreciated!
