In several threads the question of how to properly wire batteries in parallel has come up in the discussion. I have found a study that explains the advantages of various wiring schemes when it comes to wiring batteries in parallel... Here is the quick explanation: According to the study linked...

I've decided to ditch the scawy LP fridge due to health and safety concerns (fire) and instead buy four exploding batteries for the bargain price of $4000 to put under my bed. I can't wait to finally have ice cream that's as hard as concrete to sink my dentures into. Any exploding battery...

Ignoring that there is a solar panel on the 39RKFB, will the batteries charge when plugged into 120v if the inverter is turned off? Thanks.

We have 200Ah of LFP batteries with 720W of solar panels, a 40A Epever solar charge controller, and a non-Li compatible WFCO 8955 converter/charger. We find ourselves camping with shore power far more often than without. Does that pose any risk to the long-term health of the batteries? Since...

I have a 2018 Flagstaff model 8528ckwsa Fifth Wheel trailer. I had the batteries get overcharged and failed. I have replaced the batteries and now only get power at the front jacks. Nothing else works unless I plug in shore power then everything works fine. I have checked the following: 1...

We purchased this camper used for this season and have only been out a couple times with it. This past weekend the batteries went dead. I disconnected both batteries and charged them individually yesterday. They are back down a ways this morning. Camper is plugged in so they should be...

So of course the battery in the front of the rig is to start the engine. About 1/2 back in a compartment on the passenger side there are 2 more batteries, what are they for ? What do they run or support ? :feedback:

Pretty sure Dynamax is only installing SOC units on RVs with Li batteries per a quote from Brian. My question is why was the Victron BMV-712 chosen over the MAGNUM ENERGY, ME-BMK, BATTERY MONITORING KIT - BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE METER (INCLUDES 500A/50MV DC SHUNT) I do love the Bluetooth...

I've got a Rockwood Minilite 2507S pre-wired for solar. Went to install the solar controller however I have no power from the battery. Checked wire continuity from the roof to the battery. No continuity. Is there a breaker or fuse that I'm missing? Not sure where to go from here. Any help...

About ready to order new batteries and convert to lithium. After doing some measuring it seems like a real challenge to get 2 group 31 in the battery box under the steps. Seeking any advice or tricks that might help. Some people have commented that they decided to use group 24 to free up more...

Hi. when I bought my TT, I had them install a second 12 volt battery. (they said they found that 6 volt batteries didn't play well with the charging system). I thought having two batteries would give me a lot more battery life. They seem to drain quite quickly. Having no experience with this...

I recently relocated my three 12 volt deep cycle marine batteries to an enclosed storage bin in my 5th wheel. They are connected in parallel and I am wondering if the storage bin needs to be ventilated?

I usually have 2 batteries on my 2016 23ikss. Camping in cold weather is taxing on the batteries. I have just come into 2 more rv 12 volt batteries. Could I hook up all of them into one huge battery pack without hurting the whole system. I have a friend that has a 5th wheel and he keeps 3...

Hi All, I went to start my 2019 Four Winds 28E which I do monthly over the winter and the battery was dead (showed just 3.4V) despite being connected to the house in our driveway via a 30amp outlet and running fine the month previous. The house batteries were still charged albeit ready for a...

Will I damage my new TV electrical system or battery if I use "drop-in" lithium batteries in my trailer? I understand the basics from reading other threads: -The different chemistries of the lithiums and lead acid operate at different voltage ranges. Once the 7 pin connects the trailer and...

2020 Transcend 247 BH -- I want to upgrade to lithium ion batteries and move them under the front queen bed. For those that have done this (or even moved the batteries into the pass through storage), how did you run the wires? My current plan is to run the wires in flexible conduit along the...

I pulled my original house batteries out today as they would not maintain a charge and were not maintained as they should have been. I was going to buy replacement interstate batteries at Costco, but had read a few threads indicating AGM may be a better way to go. Looking for opinions here. Some...

I just got my 2015 Coachmen Mirada out of storage. I had a trickle charger on the chassis battery, and one on the two 12-volt coach batteries. The trickle charger on the coach batteries never turned Green, which leads me to believe they were never charging. Main power switch was turned off in...

I am awaiting delivery of two AT 100Ah batteries for the 2109s. I want to locate the batteries in the pass thru to keep them from growing legs. The battery dimensions are 13 x 6.82 x 8.48 each. I prefer a tray type holder with an across-the-top bar held in place by "j" hooks to keep them...
