batteries

New batteries won't hold a charge on my 2018 E-Pro 19fd. Is there any chance it's related to the MicroAir soft start I installed? I've replaced batteries twice in 4 years. It's currently in the shop and batteries are charging but won't hold the charge. I questioned if the converter could...

It seems like the days of big ugly lead acid batteries are numbered! I purchased my 22 XL when Li batteries became an option I could order. I paid $7500 for two Relion 300ah batteries about 3 years ago and it was money well spent...especially because I have a residential refrigerator. A few...

I recently converted the 2 coach batteries to Lithium. Thanks to members of this forum, the conversion went very well. However, I still have not converted the Solar to Lithium. The Merlin Travel Pro 30 has settings for Sealed, LA, and AGM. It also has a "user" setting that can be...

Hi All, some of the fishing forums state that Li batteries will go to sleep if not very recently charged. They recommend a small jump start battery to wake u the battery. Can anyone verify this? Will the BMS cause the Li battery to go into sleep mode if the battery hasn't been recently...

I currently have one 200W panel and one LiFePO4 battery. The battery is internal to a Jackery solar generator, so it has its own built in controller. I have the option to increase my capacity by inputting into the Jackery the output from a separate LiFePO4 battery. But how to I best recharge...

I think it's time to replace my house batteries for a 2017 Georgetown 369XL. Any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks

Trying to climb out of the rabbit hole and I need a little help. Would it be possible to set up a battery bank to run my air conditioner all night? My ideal setup would to have a battery bank in my shed with a generator that would recharge the batteries and run the camper during the day and I...

Ugh. Apparently my storage facility blew a breaker some days ago and was never reset. Got over there today (22 Dynaquest XL) to find the batteries dead. Had them reset the breaker and now the outlet (110) is hot again. Now, due to the batteries being drained, the basement doors will NOT open...

I just bought two 200w solar panels plus needed parts to complete the installation. This addition will give me a total of 600w (more like maybe 400w realistically?). I have two 100ah LiFePO4 batteries in parallel. I am thinking of buying one or two more of the same batteries, but I noticed the...

Hello everyone, This morning I stated my genny to top up my house batteries, only to realize the batteries were not being replenished. The battery indicator indicated only 1/3 and remained there the entire time. Since the rig is in temporary storage, we're leaving in 2 weeks for warmer skiees...

In my fifth wheel I have two 12 volt batteries wired in parallel. To check each battery's voltage do I need to disconnect the parallel wiring?

Where is the converter in my Coachmen 2017 240fs motorhome? I am trying to check the electrical converter specs before I replace the batteries with LiFePO4 batteries. My other question is, can I use the onan generator to charge the LiFePO4 batteries without adding an MPPT controller? It been...

As we are heading into cold weather, with some nights slated to drop below 32 degrees I was interested in any feedback from other Freedom Edition owners who have been using their RV in colder weather. I'm not talking about trying to camp in colder climates, but how to deal with cold temps...

Should we leave trailer plugged in if not using for 3 or 4 months? Fifth wheel has solar. Do we turn off battery disconnect switch? We have 2x100 amp lithium batteries in unit. We were planning heading south for winter but now delayed until January. Trailer is winterized but not sure what...

The new battery system for our r-pod just arrived! I decided that our 300Ah battery bank just wasn't enough for our boondocking needs. This new battery bank weighs in at about 550 lbs as pictured. Do you think I should mount it on the tongue?

We are buying a preowned 2024 Mini Lite 2109S and it is fitted with 12V lead acid batteries. Background: trailer has 200-watt solar panels, a solar controller, and an 1800W inverter from the factory. We are seeking advice on the pros and cons of replacing the lead acid batteries with a lithium...

so we have been dry camping for about a week now. I had noticed the invertor not staying on to charge the batteries. when we start out on board generator it sometimes comes on and charges the batteries and shows 4 lights for a bit then will stop before they are fully charged and will go to 2-3...

Hello RV forum community, My rig is a 2021 36HBQ Sabre, I recently replaced my lead acid batteries with a pair of Agm Optima Blue tops. The unit has a Waaree IP68 solar charge controller. The problem, while connected to shore power the volts start escalating upwards as high as 16 volts. I have...

August 25th we signed purchase paperwork on a new C2C20XGTA 2023 Coachmen Cross Trail missing its 400 an Lithium battery. Salesman explained the audible beeping was the battery warning indicator and the battery would arrive in a few days. Today is September 12 and still no battery. Is there a...

Hi, After only two weeks of parking my house batteries are dead. I shut off my battery switch by the door before parking. My chassis battery is good. Can you jump the house battery with the chassis battery to start the generator and charge the batteries? I can’t find any info on how to tie the...

Hi All, I need some advice, I ordered 2x 24v EG4 batteries and had them shipped to Port Huron, MI. I figured I could go pick them up, pay the duty and install them in the RV (28' Forest River Forester) to replace my house batteries. After doing more research it seems like these are considered...

My 2023 MiniLite with WFCO converter has changed over to the lithium mode to support two 100 amp hour batteries but the charge amps are about 12-16 amps (likely wire size restricted) which takes a while on shore power to recharge my batteries-but does eventually charge to 100%. I also have a dc...

I am doing research on how to best upgrade or update my current RV system. My current setup 2 interstate 60 amp hour batteries 10 amp go power controller 2 100 watt solar panels Norcold fridge works only on 12 volt power. I want to get to a point where my fridge stays running all night...

Hi, Might be a stupid question but can anyone tell me if the house batteries are supposed to recharge when my Isata 3 Mercedes engine is running? Thanks, Chris

I am replacing the original flooded lead acid batteries in my 2022 Coachmen Leprechaun 319MB with LiFePO4 batteries. I will likely eventually replace the OEM charging system from the alternator/chassis battery with an aftermarket dc-to-dc charger that is designed to work with LiFePO4 batteries...
