Greetings-
I am replacing my tongue mounted Lead Acid 80AH battery with a LiTime 280AH LiFePo. My charger is a WCFO autodetect and the solar charger has a lithium charging option, so seems like simple replacement. However, I plan to move the battery location into the passthrough.
I believe I need to run the positive lead from the battery back out to the original connection on the external underside of the trailer frame, to the input of the auto reset fuse (power jack and brakes also wired to that location for constant power from the battery). On the other end of that auto reset fuse is power back to the trailer to the battery disconnect (I believe that is where it goes but not confirmed), the trailer pin, TireLinc, etc..
I am looking for suggested ways to to run the positive cable from battery in the passthrough out to that auto reset fuse location on the external trailer frame? Do I need to drop the coroplast to route a new cable into the passthrough? Is there a way to route the positive battery cable through the existing conduit that has worked for you?
I read where one person used the old negative battery lead to pull a new positive lead through the existing wire routing, eliminating the need to drop the coroplast?
Another person seems to have repurposed the positive cable on the output side of the auto reset fuse by relocating it to the input side of the auto reset fuse, used that as the battery positive, and then installed a new reset fuse between battery positive and the battery disconnect?
What has worked for you?
Thanks for any advice you have
