batteries

Hello, We have a 2023 Leprechaun 230FS Ford E450 chassis that is not charging the house batteries when the engine is running. After checking terminals I found that there is no juice going to the yellow/black wire on the solenoid in the photo. I jumped the house batteries to fire the generator up...

Coachmen Prism 2021 It seems the house batteries under the step and the engine starter batteries are hooked together? Is there a reason for this. It seems like a bad idea. There is a switch but only an on off switch for the entire electrical system. It seems as on my old boats there should...

Hi everyone -- I have a Dynamax Isata 3 24FW 2023 equipped with 2 lithium batteries and a solar panel. I am trying to understand if my solar panel is charging my batteries. From what I can see, it doesn't looks like and my RV dealer is totally useless answering this basic question... Is there...

I just bought a Surveyor 240BHLE with 400w solar and the WFCO WF 8955 AD controller. I was looking to add lithium batteries to get about 400ah and a 2-3000 watt inverter. Does anyone have any recommendations on setups? Is there a company that sells the equipment and will assist in the...

Hello! 2024 EPro 19FBS with included 200 watt solar on roof. Regular batteries, not lithium. Just did first boon docking trip. Three sunny days. Only used the fridge and turned water pump off when not using. Used solar lights at night. After three days the batteries were completely drained...

On our new-to-us motorhome I installed two 100a/h LifePO4 batteries and replaced the charger with a Progressive Dynamics PD9160ALV 12V Lithium Ion Battery Converter/Charger - 60 Amp. I have the RV plugged into a 20 amp breaker in my house and am charging the batteries for the first time. It's...

For my 2016 Wildcat Maxx 5th wheel, I would like to change out my 6v batteries to Lithium for <$200 per battery. I would like your input, please.

On a weekend trip on the second day, the Everchill 12v Fridge/Freezer died. Thought it was something with the fridge. Was connected to shore power, it was working when I got there, and everything else 12v/120v was working as far as I could tell. Unplugged from shore power to head home the next...

Thinking of going to AGM 6V Batteries and want to find out if the charging system in my 2021 Coachmen Sports Coach will be ok to charge them? Also have solar. Thanks Don

I just spent quite a bit of time researching and upgrading my Rockwood 2204S to lithium power. I have attached below a "how to" video of my install plus a few new creature comforts added to my TT, because of the excess power. With the price of lithium batteries coming down and the advances in...

So, as far as I can gather, our house and chassis batteries are always connected. The BIM160 appears to not be functioning. The house batteries are brand new, grp 31, 110 Ah each. We started our trip today with no end point planned. We don't have any boondocking planned at the moment, but...

After four years and about 150 nights, we're going to be trading in our Cherokee 22MKSE for an Alpha Wolf 26DBHL. Our Cherokee has 430 Ah LA batteries with 800 watts solar. I plan to also put solar and a bigger battery bank on this one as well. However, I'm going Li instead of LA. If money...

Good evening all, New to the forums, just got our camper last year and this year I am trying to make it our own. (my wife and mine). I am looking at seeing if our ac unit can run off our battery system. I have haier wall mount in our forest river. 3000 btu and 7.5 amps. I have a 1500 watt...

I have read threads in the past about adding an additional battery to my 2011 Sierra bunk house. I understanding the wiring, i'm keeping the same voltage, just adding capacity. the main questions is how are your batteries mounted? I would prefer to have them in a custom made "tower", have them...

I have a 2020 GMC Sierra 3500hd. I run my 12 volt fridge when towing when I get to my campsite my batteries are low I have my main power switch on up by the tongue and I am towing a 2023 2109s Mini Lite. It doesn’t seem like the truck is sending 12 volt power to the trailer. I know the solar...

The self-discharge rate of my LiFePO4 batteries is around 2~3% per month. I expect that this is typical for all LiFePO4 batteries, all brands. The cells these vendors use to assemble their battery packages come from common factories. The self-discharge current won't be measured by an external...

Hi. First post here. We recently bought a 2017 Thor Hurricane 34J to live in full time, with some boondocking in our future for sure. There seems to be a parasitic drain on the batteries. There is also a Ground Fault error #9 on the Lippert slide controller. There's 0.6amps going through the...

Issue I noticed while working on and cleaning our camper, a 2021 EPRO 15TB. I have a voltage difference between the batteries (13.6v) and camper (9.2V). Longer version: I extended the awning to clean the outside of the camper. After that, I unplugged the camper from shore power so I could...

Someone was concerned about draws in storage. Xantrex gave this quick explanation sheet.

Stored my 6 volt batteries inside during the winter. Went to get them and saw a mucky brown substance oozing from one of the battery posts. Is the battery compromised? Don’t know how to post a picture or I would. TIA

I'm sure this has been asked but I do want to get confirmation for myself. I have a 2022 Sunseeker 2850sle. We bought it used and I'm noticing the batteries are pretty much shot. They work great when suns out and solar is working but at night they don't last very long. There's 2 of them in there...

Greetings I have a Rockwood Minilite 2511s. A 2021 model. I am considering the jump to lithium batteries. 1. If I have it right - I can buy 1 or 2 lithium batteries and simply drop in (change my solar controller to support lithium) attach and go - I don't need additional wiring or shunts ...

A few days ago a friend moved my camper batteries out of the house and put them back in the camper in preparation for a spring trip. Now we are getting an overnight forecast of 21 degrees. If I leave the camper plugged in, will the batteries be OK? They are too heavy for me to lift so I can't...

The solar charging was working fine, batteries were holding charge. All of a sudden I noticed the lights flickering and then, dead! Batteries were drained. I plugged into shore power and everything up and ran well for about 15 minutes, then dead again. Shore power would not even work...
