It's done, inverter, lithium & ATS

[Hblick48]

Well, I had a mobile RV repair guy out to fix a blown capacitor in my rear A/C unit. I told him of my predicament with my NEW lithium battery being unable to run my hydraulic leveling system. He suggested just running a good 12V battery separate from the other system. I went down to NAPA auto parts, bought a yellow top Optima battery, a couple of premade battery cables, and the system is now working like it should. Still frustrated on my lithium battery.

One BIG question: How do you plan on keeping the Optima battery charged? You can't connect both batteries together!

It's completely separate from the other system. Just running the 12V side of the rig. I'm still looking at wanting to run just straight lithium on everything.
