    new battery....LiFePO4???

    Wow! I started reading posts about Lithium batteries and keep falling off the cliff into spending $$$ rewiring the trailer, changing converters, installing solar, etc. etc. All I intended was to get a new battery. With my limited knowledge I thought maybe I could just put a 12 volt lithium in...

    Lithium battery won’t charge

    2022 ePro sat outside in winter. Now the lithium battery won’t charge or won’t hold a charge. The solar charger suggests the battery is full, the main battery panel shows 0% charge and 0 running time. I did reset the yellow breaker relay multiple times. What can I do next?

    At my wits end with my Battery Control Center SDC 107A

    My 2009 Forest River Georgetown GTX3600 won't charge my house batteries while on shore power. But shore power will charge my chassis battery. Also If I start the engine, the alternator will charge the chassis and house batteries with 13.6vdc. After much reading, I thought perhaps a...

    Do I need to a converter if using a battery charger

    Hello, my converter just died and I was wondering if I needed to replace it, or if I could just hook up my NOCO 5AH battery charger and it would do the same thing. I just did this on my last camping trip where I used an extension cord to plug in my battery charger the whole time while my battery...

    Battery, solar controller, or trailer wiring?

    I have a Rockwood Signature 8263MBR with a Go Power GP-PWM-30-UL controller and 200 watt panel on the roof. The trailer came with two 81 Ah lead acid batteries that got very discharged this winter so I bought two 12V 100 Ah lithium batteries from LiTime. I charged and installed them in parallel...

    Battery questions

    Our new Surveyor Legend came with one battery. Is it difficult to add a second one? We've only put a few miles on the one we have (AGM) Also, besides the battery shutoff, my husband disconnects the battery wire. I thought the solar would keep the battery charged to prevent it going dead from the...

    Battery placement in pass through

    Hello, I've built a battery box to house LifePo4 batteries that I will be placing my passthrough (2019 Geo Pro 19FBS). I initially planned to mount this on the other side of the heater, but I wanted to check-in to see if that was ok/safe to do. I could move it to the other side of the...

    Hello. I have a 2011 Rockwood Roo 23SS. I just took it camping over the weekend. I think I have an issue with the battery charging system because today when we packed up to leave my brake controller did not pair with my controller app and I believe it was because the controller got no power...

    Inverter and Battery Shutoff

    I connected my Renogy 700W inverter for the first time. I connected the inverter negative directly to the battery. With battery shutoff on off, the other DC circuits still have power. Same whether inverter is on or off. So how are the circuits getting power? Through the ground wires? (The...

    Battery and Slideout

    Does the battery assist the slideout for power? Or does the slide work just fine with only shore power. I am probably over thinking this but, I have wondered if the slide draws at all from the battery when connected to shore power. I've always been at a campground with full hook up's and full...

    Isolator failure allowed all batteries to drain?

    Bought a lightly-used 2019 Thor Hurricane 29M from a dealer. Took one long-drive overnight trip, camped with no shore power and all 12V systems worked fine. Parked at home, connected to shore power briefly, and it was then unplugged for the last month. I went in and out a few times; step...

    3rd SOK battery installed

    Got my new SOK in and charged it up last night. Dropped it in the RV today to do some load testing. All went well. There's room for a 4th and I made the cables all equal length so a fourth can go in. With one 15k BTU aircon + the fireplace on high (weird combo, right?) I was pulling...

    2024 18RRBL battery and solar system is basically useless

    I know this is a budget RV and didn't expect much from the solar system. I set the 12v fridge at the minimum position and was told it could sit in the yard and sustain itself. The dealer lied. If I wanted to run a furnace at night I was told to add another battery. It has two of the dealer's...

    Battery Shutoff and Solar

    Finished installing a shutoff switch on the negative side of the batteries on my HW277. The loads that are shut off include my solar controller. Instructions for the Renogy controller say the battery should be connected before solar. So should I make a change to connect the controller...

    RV/Marine Battery vs Golf Cart Batteies

    So, I thought I'd be doing some boondocking, so I got (2) 6V wet cell deep cycle batteries. Never did boondock! Batteries aren't holding a charge as well lately, so time to replace. I leaning towards going back to marine starting/deep cycle. Here's my reasoning... I'm usually plugged in, and...

    Just bought a 2024 Momentum 23g this year. It came with 2 x 200W solar panels, and a WFCO WF-5220 2000W Inverter (pictured, on the floor). I opened up the access panel in the front external storage compartment, and found a lot of empty space above the inverter and next to the solar controller...

    Chassis battery

    I have a 2019 Chevy Express 4500 chassis with a model 2290 Forest River class C RV. If I'm plugged into shore power will that charge my chassis battery as well as the two house batteries? Or do I need to keep a trickle charger on the chassis battery?
