Lithium battery

Wow , this is becoming way to complicated to be able to heat up a cup of chili , I'm starting to think just carrying a small generator is the best solution

Or consider the tried-and-true pair of 6 Volt lead-acid that Escape has used for many years. Or a slightly more modern pair of 12 Volt AGM (lead-acid) batteries. Both will power your cup of chili many times over and don't require the Lithium learning curve.

I just got done modifying my 2019 E19 by installing a 270 ah Battleborn battery in my U-shaped dinette. It fit...just barely, lol. But now I can run my microwave at night and not worry about running the batteries too low. And the toaster barely dents the amount of amps.
I had two 6v AGM's in the front storage box and just pulled the wiring back into the trailer to wire it.

I am putting 2, 206 ah SOK batteries in our 5.0. It is my understanding that they will fit in the standard battery box designed for 2 factory installed lithium ion batteries, Except I won’t be able to put the lid on. As these don’t off gas, that doesn’t concern me. What does concern me is being able to charge those monsters up with the 2 roof mounted solar panels plus a 190ish Zamp Suitcase ; )

There is always your propane stove to use to heat up leftovers....

They should charge fine, be careful of your tow vehicle charging: install a dc to dc Victron or another brand to regulate the output and protect the tow
