    Bad coach batteries?

    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...

Before we left I checked battery water level and all was good, during the trip each battery had a dry cell and would not hold a charge. These...

    Room for (2) SOK 206Ah Batteries?

    We are thinking of changing-over to LiFePo4 batteries in our TT. However, we expect to purchase a FR3 30DS in the next 2 years. Therefore, we'd like to ensure that the batteries we buy today for our TT will fit into the FR3 30DS battery compartment. Each SOK 206Ah battery measures ~11.5" in...

    Replacing House Batteries on 2016 Isata 3

    The house batteries on our 2016 Isata 3 look to be coming to the end of their lives. The batteries no longer ever get to 100% charge, don't last long enough when we are not plugged in (even with the solar charger), and we want to replace them. We currently have two 8A31DTM Deka Intimidator...

    DX3 batteries?

    There are 4 batteries in the belly, am I to understand that two are coach and two are chassis? I'm about to replace them and was thinking of going to AGM's. Does the added expense of lithium batteries justify the expense of lithiums? My DX3 is a 2018 and the batteries have been drained several...
