    Isata 3 Freedom Edition Battery Disconnect Recall Failure

    Ok, let me start by saying this is a rant. I'm frustrated and am not sure what I can do at this point. If you don't like rants you might want to move on. Like many of us that have an Isata 3 Freedom Edition I got the battery disconnect recall. It's a very simple recall, 30 minutes max...

    No AC power > Open Ground on battery power

    Extra battery

    My husband is preparing our RV for our summer trip and we replaced the house batteries. He just discovered another battery under the slide floor. We have solar and thought solar just charged the house batteries. Does anyone know what this battery is for? It is a Sunseeker 2290s 2020. Could...

    Yet another Axis/Vegas chassis battery issues/replacement thread

    Hi all, I was doing my yearly maintenance (oil change, battery fluid check) and found the chassis battery for my 2018 Axis is showing liquid on top and corrosion on the positive terminal. Dr. Google says this is a sign my battery is getting overcharged, possibly because of a bad alternator...

    Won't charge battery

    We got home from a camping trip and plugged into our house like usual. Now the batteries won't charge while plugged in. We also tied to plug into out generator and I would have to wiggle the cord just right to get the trailer power to stay on. It does charge when plugged into solar. What could...

    Li House Battery Full Chargin

    We have a new 2024 Granite Ridge 22T. It comes with a 3.9kWh 12V lithium battery. The battery seems to be functioning well.

    Disconnect battery for short term storage

    i'm trying to figure out the easiest way for myself and wife to be able to leave the battery connections as is at the battery (so neither of us need to open up the battery case and untighten/disconnect the leads) but not have the internal devices drawing on it if we have it stored for a week or...

    Chassis Battery Died

    Hello All - I just purchased a 2011 Forest River Solera SS24S on a Mercedes Sprinter. The previous owner brought it to me and set it up at a campground. Everything went well and everything in the house runs great. 2 days later, the chassis engine would not start. I called the previous owner and...

    6 V battery question

    Just purchased 2 new 6V batteries. Unbeknownst to me, I’m pretty sure I ran them empty by mistake. Now, the trickle charger in my camper won’t fully charge them. How can I get them up to full charge?

    Battery Terminal Block Fuse

    I will be installing 2) 100ah Lifepo4 batteries and a 2000w Renogy inverter in my 2024 Surveyor Legend. I was thinking about using a 200amp battery terminal block fuse from the positive side of the battery to the inverter. I will be using 2/0 wire from the battery to the inverter, hopefully less...

    Fire in battery compartment.

    First post here and thanks for having me. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, so forgive me if I have posted in the wrong one. We purchased a new 2022 Forest River RLF2891BH in August of 2023 and used it twice before the 12v system failed. The converter was replaced and I...

    Battery vs. battery

    Relion RB300 is a 300 AH battery for $2350.00. Then there is the Ingeosolly IN-12v300AH which claims to be a 300AH battery for $568.89. Why such a huge disparity in prices? Is this a extreme example of "you get what you pay for"?

    Super hot battery cable connection

    We recently purchased a 2009 Sierra 31 ft 5th wheel set up in a campground. After being there getting things in order for a couple of days I smelled hot wiring. The Bat Neg lug on the fuse panel was very hot as was the white cable connected to it. I shut everything off and now trying to figure...

    Electrical Issue with Battery Disconnect

    We have a 2019 Flagstaff T21DMHW AFrame that we bought last fall. We are taking it out for the first time next weekend.

    Electrical - Battery power

    Hi I'm looking for some help. I bought a 2011 puma palomino, 30 footer. I just got a group size 27 deep cycle battery for it and it doesn't power the microwave or the A/C. Will adding a second battery in series solve this problem? Both of these appliances work when I'm plugged in to AC power.

    Apex Nano 194bhs - multi-battery setup

    Hey guys, I have an Apex Nano 194bhs. What always bothered me is that the rear fridge is 110V only. It won't work while boon-docking or travelling, which makes it pretty useless to me. My thinking was to add an inverter but setting it up requires specific wiring. The inverter has to be close to...
