batteries

I have a 2021 Rockwood 2509s with the solar package and it came with 2 wet cell batteries in a box on the tongue. These batteries work ok, but don't last very long. I want to get some lithium batteries but I want to put them in the box on the tongue. I don't think I can fit two (or more), I'm...

Is there a setting to not charge the coach batteries while connected to shore power to run the coach? We have a 2017 DX3. We are camping and connected to 50 amp shore power. I think I have a bad battery (getting slight rotten egg smell and slight sizzle sound). Both smell and sizzle go away...

We are going on a trip sooner than expected and i just completed our solar installation, except for the battery, which i was waiting to purchase until the rest of the system was complete. Now that i'm finished with that I stupidly expected to be able to get a battery at amazon speed. Turns out...

For those adventurous souls who are considering building your own Lithium Battery (LiFePo4) bank, a company named Sun Fun Kits has put together a complete kit to make assembly easier. The kits include all the parts you would need to source individually, Battery Monitoring System (BMS), battery...

I came back to camp tonight to find my FR3 without house power. I’m plugged into 50 amp shore power but the house batteries are dead. Started the chassis and power came back on but batteries are not charging from shore power. Any suggestions?

Are converters and inverters the same thing? We’re having trouble with brand new cedar creek inverter shutting off because batteries are dead. Have a charger on it now to keep it going. Not connected to power right now while doing fence work.

Just bought two 6 volt golf cart batteries to replace the single 12v OEM battery that came with our TT. I am planning on connecting them in series and then charging with a "regular" 12 volt 2/10 amp car battery charger. But before I "charge off" any comments on how best to charge them? Also what...

We had a strong sulfur smell and thought it was leaking sewer plumbing. Now seems to be coming from battety compartment. Would charging batteries release sewer smell?

Hello, I have a 2015 24R and I'm doing research on what 6V batteries that will fit in the step battery box. Seems the height is the limiting factor, I believe I can't go higher than 9.5 inches. Does anyone have any recommendations? thanks Rachel

I have a not-so-obvious question about what I should do with my batteries during the winter. I’m also sure this question gets asked here often in the winter. I have two batteries hooked up to my pup. I also have a 100 watt solar panel that keeps the batteries charged when it is not in use...

First, yes I did search. No luck. I am a long time RV'er ( 40 years) and I have never really needed to ask a question like this before. I usually winter my twin 6 volt batteries in my garage, attached to a smart charger. They are kept fully charged and exercised all winter. I have taken the...

Just wondering our coach batteries do not seem to hold a charge very long any way to test strength? As an example refrigerator, a few led lights on one tv running a couple hrs a few bathroom breaks so water pump use nothing else after six hours done inventer goes down. Is that about normal...

Hi. My inverter is putting out 13.5 volts but its not reaching my batteries. So both batteries are depleted. Is there is breaker or fuse to check and where? Is a FR3 DS25. Thanks

We just finished 5 nights of off grid camping with the last 4 in a semi covered campsite that didn't allow generators. We have 4 100 amp Alberta lithium, 2x170 watt roof mounted solar panels through the original zamp controller monitored with a Victron battery monitor. Renology 2000W inverter...

Hey there I have a 2019 force hd bh37 I bought it thus year with 2000 miles on it. We drove it from Michigan to Glacier etc. On our way back the the batteries for the house were not charging while driving. My dealer knows very little about my rig so. I am looking for another place to take it as...

There have been lots of questions on whether or not the factory WFCO 8735 converter that doesn’t “support” lithium batteries is capable of charging them sufficiently. I have a 2021 Geo Pro with a 100ah Screampower Lithium Battery and the WFCO 8735 non lithium converter. Prior to having a...

I have searched for specific information with no satisfactory results. If I am replacing the house lead acid batteries with lithium batteries, where is the best place to install and connect the DC to DC charger? Close to the alternator or in the battery box? I’m looking to install 600 AH of...

Received the 2 LiFePO4 I ordered the other day. I like the quality so far. They were packed very well with the contoured foam in the boxes. I also bought a Victron Energy lithium charger. Charged both of them up overnight so they are ready to go when I’m ready to install them on the camper.

Welp- time to use one of the new "smilies" :facepalm: A double darn on me. Earlier this summer I took my rig with 2 brand new golf cart batteries from Sams club to Lake of the Ozarks state park for a few days of hiking and sight seeing. It was a good trip except it rained a bit more than we...

I'm newly registered to the forum although I've looked at it several times. I have a 2015 Forest River 2503s bought in 2017 to experience the great outdoors. In the last four years have gone on many short trips but recently went for 21 days. I bought a 50 amp adapter plug not realizing my system...

2011 Berkshire 360QS. House and chassis batteries going dead, or very low in storage for one month. Batteries replaced this year (house), chassis batteries last year. Both battery switches turned to off in battery compartment. We had our repair man add a third battery off switch for the wire...

Short story I want to go from floating lead acid Group 27 house batteries to AGM Group 31 batteries but it will add another 30 pounds to the battery compartment. Long story Our house batteries, two 12 volt floating lead acid Group 27 no-namer's, have always been weak and finally flamed out. If...

Hey guys! I did a lot of reading/searching on the forum and couldn't find an answer so I thought I'd ask. 2020 E-PRO FD19 with upgraded solar After bringing it home and plugging the it in the converter fan runs constantly and the solar control panel which shows the battery charge won't get...

Will the charging system on a 2017 MBS SunSeeker, charge a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery to its full potential (sorry about the pun, but the Lion Energy UT Safari 1300 batteries I am considering can accept a charge up to 14.6V), both off the vehicle's alternator and from shore power? Or would I...

Hoping for a response from Forest River please. And insights from other Isata people who may have experienced these things. We have a 2020 Isata 3 on a 2018 Mercedes chassis. Only 7000 km on it. First, we just returned from a three day trip with some rain and returned with water leaking from...
