Moving Lithium batteries to under bench seat

   I did replace the converter to the AD and also installed an inverter in the exterior storage compartment behind the door. Haven’t moved the batteries yet. That’s on my list of things to do.

	BTRice: how did this turn out? I'm in the process of ordering a LiFePO4 battery for my 2021 193 that I'm planning to (try to) put under the front bench. Based on my experience with my rpod build quality, I'm NOT looking forward to the rat's nest of wiring I expect to find. Did you replace the converter as well? Mine came with a 2020 WF-8735P that I'm contemplating swapping out with a WF-8735AD to get the Lithium friendly two-stage charging option. Open to thoughts from the peanut gallery too! (I've been lurking and found offgrid's comments and suggestions especially helpful already!)

	+1, you couldnt depend on a wiring diagram even if there was one. Use a multimeter and check each of the wires with the continuity setting to be sure you know what is running where.

	There are no wiring diagrams for any rPods. And the arrangement of any one rPod's wiring is likely different from any other rPod depending on how the crew built it that particular day. Good luck with your project. I'm interested in seeing how it turns out.

	So. I recently added two lithium batteries and an inverter to my RPOD. Now that I’ve put in that work, I’m moving the batteries to the area under the set where the converter is. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a 2018 180? I’d like to trace the positive and negative wires before I get under the chassis. If not, I’ll just do it the old fashion way. Thanks!
