    Winter camping in the FLX

    We're thinking about buying the FLX (2100BH) to camp at our local ski area during the winter (mid 30s during the day, teens overnight but sometimes as low as 0F).

    Solar charging LiFePo4 on GEL setting?

    Our motorhome came with 200watts of solar and a Go Power GP-PWM-30-SQ controller. I swapped out the AGM batteries for LiFePo a few years ago but never changed the controller, and the controller has no lithium setting, just GEL, AGM, lead acid and calcium. I was told back then to keep it on the...

    Solar charging best practices

    We just got our new Geo Pro with 2 x 190w solar panels. It's been interesting to watch the solar controller register the day's solar power "harvest" in volts and amps. But with a trip a few weeks away, is it really best just to shut it all down in the meantime? And, is this best done by turning...

    Charging Advice

    I have a 2019. NoBo, I have two 12 V batteries. I added the second battery for Boon-docking. When I store at my house, I’m plugged into electric, will it hurt the batteries or overcharge the batteries? Or, should I isolate the batteries and only charge them once in a while?
