Have you got one?
I was looking at Victron Smart Lithium over the weekend. The manual specifically states that the battery MUST be installed upright. According to the supplier it's something to do with chemicals settlingI‘ve just got round to looking at the size and it’s going to be a bit of a squeeze as it’s 25mm (+bolts) higher than my existing battery, so it’s going to have to go on it’s side, which means it will be 50mm wider. Don’t suppose it’ll be too much of a problem, but I’m going to have to rearrange everything under the seat. Mind you, I’ll need a new DC-`DC charger anyway as the Ctek I have doesn’t have a lithium profile so I may as well rip it all out and start from scratch again. At least my Victron solar charger will be fine still.
Just realised I’ll need another mains charger too and that’s built into the control system of the van. Suddenly doesn’t seem so cheap any more
B*gger! In that case @Dellmassive I'm going to have to back out of this I'm afraid, I've just been out to the garage to check and 225mm high would touch the bottom of my swivel and that's without any bolt... Really sorry, I should have checked this before but just assumed if other people were buying it then it must fit fine, my own fault. Gutted, especially with the even lower priceI was looking at Victron Smart Lithium over the weekend. The manual specifically states that the battery MUST be installed upright.

I've just googled can Lithium batteries be installed on their side, lots of info saying they can. Not sure why Victron say no, other than that was the way they were designed. Guess it might be worth checking with ValenceB*gger!

Apologies, just watched it again and I missed that bit.The 30a max referees to the RT series.. not the XP series so not applicable... @andys
where did you source them from?Hi just purchased 4 valence batteries for my camper but have a problem with one. The green light is on permanently rather than flashing like the other 3. Anyone know how to fix this?
Kind regards
Thats specific to those Victrons . . . . . i think its due to the location of the BMS internally for heat soak etc.
They don’t have an onboard BMS.Thats specific to those Victrons . . . . . i think its due to the location of the BMS internally for heat soak etc.
Let me qualify this comment, since @Hickey finds it funnyThey don’t have an onboard BMS.
