charging

Recently decided to pull the trigger and upgrade my 12v Lead Acid to a LiFePO4 100Ah drop in battery. I am stoked with the performance so far but am wondering if you guys may have some ideas as to why the DC Charging station located near the Murphy bed is not getting any power to it? 2017 2304DS

Hi All, New owner of a used 2015 R-Pod 179 that came with a property I bought. Nice little trailer! My questions are regarding power. The trailer is parked in the mountains, totally off the electric grid. I have two potentially separate goals. 1. Keeping the batteries charged. I have a nice...

While I am camped and connected to shore power, should my engine battery be charging? The dashboard radio in my 2018 Georgetown Class A is the radio and DVD player for the coach. There is a switch to power it on even when the key is not in ignition. But that is apparently draining the engine...

So we have a 2019 FR Vengeance 388V16 with a 50A shore power connection and Onan 5500 onboard genset. I'm chasing a 12V gremlin where most of the accessories only work on shore power or generator and the batteries are not charging and in fact discharging when stored. Under normal conditions I...

What’s the best way to keep car charged while being towed (blue ox brake system)

Before I go ripping into electrical stuff, I want to verify that a 2016 DX3 is supposed to charge the house batteries when running after the starting batteries are charged. I wired my old boat this way with an Automatic Charge Relay. Saw the recent thread on this issue with a 2018 DX3, and...

I installed solar panels on my 2016 Vibe 245BHS last fall and have loved having it because it keeps my battery charged, while in storage. My problem is with the battery charging while towing the trailer. Ever since installing the solar, the battery won't charge while towing. I start the day...

New here and to travel trailers in general. I have ordered a Battle Born 100ah battery for our new 2019 Forest River Cruise Lite 201BHXL TT. No plans for boon-docking (if that is the right term) so one battery for now. The TT has a WF-8955pec power converter/charger. Are these compatible? Has...

Hello! Long time lurker, I thought I would share the upgrades I've done to my Bobcat's electrical system as this info could be useful to someone else. I purchased an All Terrain Bobcat Shell model last year and had it installed on my 2015 Chevy Colorado at the ATC shop in Reno in September. It...

The DW been working with our dealer on setting up our PDI this week, during the conversation she was told the factory converter has an "automatic recharge cycle" when the batteries drop below 10.5 volts and lasts 4 hours this in turns leads to 6 volt batteries being over charged and failing...

I recently fired up my solar controller for the first time in preparation for the first trip with solar panels. With shore power from the house, the best I can get out of the batteries is 12.3 volts after 24 hours on the converter. I disconnected the shore power and plugged in a quality...

As many know , boaters face the same battery charge problems as boondockers. All want short recharge time (impossible) and a return to 100% charged for longest battery life. Here is a concept from someone in the field, https://marinehowto.com/how-fast-can-an-agm-battery-be-charged/

Have a 2010 Georgetown with 50 amp service, just replaced house batteries. Since we do not travel that much, was considering a trickle charger to retain charge in house batteries. Another person said that if I had 115v outlet in my storage facility I could hookup to that. Is this a good way to...

2016 DX3 was left in storage for a couple of weeks not plugged in. Showed up yesterday and batteries are dead. Zantrex control panel said house batteries had 4 volts. Plugged into shore power and left over night. This morning still dead. Panel says zero volts now. What am I missing why didn't...

I like to boondock in my trailer. I will use up about 100 amp hours of battery in 3 or 4 days. This brings my batteries to about 50%, time to recharge. I tow with a 2011 f150 which will charge my battery while on the road. The problem is after the battery voltage is raised by the alternator...

Good morning all, I just purchased a 2016 forest river grey wolf 26dbh a month or so ago. I put a new battery in it and gave it a full charge. The problem I am having is that when I am hooked up to shore power it is not charging the battery and when it drains down I lose power in the travel...

I have a 2018 nitro toy hauler my question is should it run the front jacks when it’s not hooked up to the truck or plugged in? Also it only has one battery in the battery box it looks like it is big enough for two batteries. Reason I’m asking this is I have a new f350 and when I plug it in it...

So when my trailer is hooked up and I’m driving down the road are my batteries getting charged from my trucks charging system???

My wife and I bought our first RV. It's a Rockwood 2606WS. I would like to know if the battery charges while you are towing the RV and does it charge when you are plugged in at a campground? Also, can you put a trickle charger on it without removing the battery cables or do you have to remove...

I currently have 2 x 6V Golf Cart Batteries and a Honda EU3000IS with my 2014 A-122TH. I would like to understand how everyone is charging there batteries when dry camping? Obviously the less the generator runs the better. Do I need to get a battery charger? Or can I simply connect the RV to...

I have 2 deep cycle batteries. What is the quickest way to charge them when using a generator. #1 Use rv converter. WFCO model 9855 , 55 amp. Specs. Absorb mode 13.6V, bulk 14.4 V, float 13.2 volts. #2 Minn Kota MK-230 pc 2 bank charger, 15 amps. Specs. Absorb mode 14.4V, equalize 15.5V...

I just purchased a FR R Pod 179, 2019. I am in total panic that my battery will run low while dry camping and I will not be able to retract my slide out. I would like to avoid buying a generator. In order to keep my battery charged I know I can plug my R Pod into the truck and start the truck...

I have a 2018 XLR Hyper Lite 29HFS and I'm wondering if someone can answer a question for me regarding the battery and battery charging ... there is a red key on the side of the bed ... I have to turn this key on when I am not connected to external electricity and I need lights ... but when it...

I am scratching my head on this one. I start the motor home and wait for the alternator to start charging the coach batteries. It seems sometimes it does and other times it doesn't. This is a Series 4 with Precision Plex. I looked at the controller and all looks ok as far as wiring. I tried...

Does running generator for 2-4 hours per day do adequate job of charging battery? Should I do something more? Charger plugged into generator best? Rule of thumb as to when I should charge battery and is charging too often bad for battery?
