batteries

Hi. when I bought my TT, I had them install a second 12 volt battery. (they said they found that 6 volt batteries didn't play well with the charging system). I thought having two batteries would give me a lot more battery life. They seem to drain quite quickly. Having no experience with this...

I recently relocated my three 12 volt deep cycle marine batteries to an enclosed storage bin in my 5th wheel. They are connected in parallel and I am wondering if the storage bin needs to be ventilated?

I usually have 2 batteries on my 2016 23ikss. Camping in cold weather is taxing on the batteries. I have just come into 2 more rv 12 volt batteries. Could I hook up all of them into one huge battery pack without hurting the whole system. I have a friend that has a 5th wheel and he keeps 3...

Hi All, I went to start my 2019 Four Winds 28E which I do monthly over the winter and the battery was dead (showed just 3.4V) despite being connected to the house in our driveway via a 30amp outlet and running fine the month previous. The house batteries were still charged albeit ready for a...

Will I damage my new TV electrical system or battery if I use "drop-in" lithium batteries in my trailer? I understand the basics from reading other threads: -The different chemistries of the lithiums and lead acid operate at different voltage ranges. Once the 7 pin connects the trailer and...

Anyone using everstart from Walmart. I am being told I need 2 100Ah batteries for my trailer setup. Currently 1 80 watt go power and 1 64 ah battery. Best pricing is everstart battery with 101 Ah. Can get two for 150.00. Interstate are double and have to go to group 27. Anyone using...

2020 Transcend 247 BH -- I want to upgrade to lithium ion batteries and move them under the front queen bed. For those that have done this (or even moved the batteries into the pass through storage), how did you run the wires? My current plan is to run the wires in flexible conduit along the...

I pulled my original house batteries out today as they would not maintain a charge and were not maintained as they should have been. I was going to buy replacement interstate batteries at Costco, but had read a few threads indicating AGM may be a better way to go. Looking for opinions here. Some...

I'm concerned about my 12V only Norcold N10. FR Surv Legend. No inverter on unit. Only 1 12 interstate size 24 AGM about 80 AMh according to Interstate Battery store.. 80 watt Go Power Solar panel. That is to keep the frig going on days of travel. An if I want to stay in a walmart one...

I just got my 2015 Coachmen Mirada out of storage. I had a trickle charger on the chassis battery, and one on the two 12-volt coach batteries. The trickle charger on the coach batteries never turned Green, which leads me to believe they were never charging. Main power switch was turned off in...

I am awaiting delivery of two AT 100Ah batteries for the 2109s. I want to locate the batteries in the pass thru to keep them from growing legs. The battery dimensions are 13 x 6.82 x 8.48 each. I prefer a tray type holder with an across-the-top bar held in place by "j" hooks to keep them...

Can I get some eyes on this schematic of our install of 2 new 100ah SOK batteries, new PD4060LK converter/charger (replacing a WFCO 8735) and new PI EMS. We have moved the batteries to underneath our jackknife sofa in the rear of the camper where the WFCO is now. Only had one lead acid on the...

Just received our 2 new 12.8v 100ah lithium batteries. So I am new to this. Do we need to discharge them first before we fully charge them? Do we run them in parallel or series? We got them to run or residential fridge. dge in our RV without the generator.

I have a 2014 27k Thor hurricane. I have 2 interstate batteries powering the house. Last night after a week of being plugged in to shore power, I was off grid and the batts died. Nothing was on but the fridge and the heater. Oils T they last longer than a single evening? What can I do to...

We just returned from a two month warmer weather trip, had shore power at each stop and the only time the batteries were working was when we were driving. Before we left I checked battery water level and all was good, during the trip each battery had a dry cell and would not hold a charge. These...

We have a 2018 Coachmen Leprechaun 311 FS. We are brand-new RV owners. We bought the RV from General RV in Wixom, Michigan, January 3. It's been sitting here at home in the driveway (north of Ann Arbor) since then. It's been driven short distances two or three times, mostly just to practice...

We are thinking of changing-over to LiFePo4 batteries in our TT. However, we expect to purchase a FR3 30DS in the next 2 years. Therefore, we'd like to ensure that the batteries we buy today for our TT will fit into the FR3 30DS battery compartment. Each SOK 206Ah battery measures ~11.5" in...

I’m running two 6 volt batteries in series to get 12 volts. My question is do i charge them when they get down to 50 % like a regular 12 volt battery or wait until they are at 0 % Thanks

The house batteries on our 2016 Isata 3 look to be coming to the end of their lives. The batteries no longer ever get to 100% charge, don't last long enough when we are not plugged in (even with the solar charger), and we want to replace them. We currently have two 8A31DTM Deka Intimidator...

I have a 28 q b and I would like to convert the single 12 volt battery to two 6 volt golf cart batteries. I don't really want to have to reinvent the wheel on this So I'm wondering if people who have already done this would recommend the exact batteries to get. Thanks for the advice Bill

There are 4 batteries in the belly, am I to understand that two are coach and two are chassis? I'm about to replace them and was thinking of going to AGM's. Does the added expense of lithium batteries justify the expense of lithiums? My DX3 is a 2018 and the batteries have been drained several...

Hi folks, I’ve learned a lot of things from this forum and other sources, so I appreciate the lurking I’ve been able to do. I’m planning the addition of solar and was hoping that your expertise could validate my assumptions and provide any commentary or feedback you think would be useful...

Batteries taking longer than expected to charge? Today I finished upgrading the batteries and chargers in my travel trailer. Upon firing up the system the new charger immediately fired up and started charging the batteries. Well, it’s been 3 hours 45 minutes and it is still charging at a high...

Has anyone placed lithium Batteries in the tray under the Galleria chassis as drop in replacements? I have a 2018 with Lead acid batteries. Worried about moisture. Can I use a standard Lithium battery or should I use a Lithium Marine battery? I want to use AOLithium 12v 100ah Batteries and...

Looks like the stock battery box for my G16BH is below and wondering what batteries are currently in that box, and if upgraded, what was able to fit? I'm not going to replace a year old battery yet but like to see what choices work without replacing the box too...
