batteries

Just wondering our coach batteries do not seem to hold a charge very long any way to test strength? As an example refrigerator, a few led lights on one tv running a couple hrs a few bathroom breaks so water pump use nothing else after six hours done inventer goes down. Is that about normal...

Hi. My inverter is putting out 13.5 volts but its not reaching my batteries. So both batteries are depleted. Is there is breaker or fuse to check and where? Is a FR3 DS25. Thanks

We just finished 5 nights of off grid camping with the last 4 in a semi covered campsite that didn't allow generators. We have 4 100 amp Alberta lithium, 2x170 watt roof mounted solar panels through the original zamp controller monitored with a Victron battery monitor. Renology 2000W inverter...

Hey there I have a 2019 force hd bh37 I bought it thus year with 2000 miles on it. We drove it from Michigan to Glacier etc. On our way back the the batteries for the house were not charging while driving. My dealer knows very little about my rig so. I am looking for another place to take it as...

There have been lots of questions on whether or not the factory WFCO 8735 converter that doesn’t “support” lithium batteries is capable of charging them sufficiently. I have a 2021 Geo Pro with a 100ah Screampower Lithium Battery and the WFCO 8735 non lithium converter. Prior to having a...

I have searched for specific information with no satisfactory results. If I am replacing the house lead acid batteries with lithium batteries, where is the best place to install and connect the DC to DC charger? Close to the alternator or in the battery box? I’m looking to install 600 AH of...

Received the 2 LiFePO4 I ordered the other day. I like the quality so far. They were packed very well with the contoured foam in the boxes. I also bought a Victron Energy lithium charger. Charged both of them up overnight so they are ready to go when I’m ready to install them on the camper.

Welp- time to use one of the new "smilies" :facepalm: A double darn on me. Earlier this summer I took my rig with 2 brand new golf cart batteries from Sams club to Lake of the Ozarks state park for a few days of hiking and sight seeing. It was a good trip except it rained a bit more than we...

I'm newly registered to the forum although I've looked at it several times. I have a 2015 Forest River 2503s bought in 2017 to experience the great outdoors. In the last four years have gone on many short trips but recently went for 21 days. I bought a 50 amp adapter plug not realizing my system...

2011 Berkshire 360QS. House and chassis batteries going dead, or very low in storage for one month. Batteries replaced this year (house), chassis batteries last year. Both battery switches turned to off in battery compartment. We had our repair man add a third battery off switch for the wire...

Short story I want to go from floating lead acid Group 27 house batteries to AGM Group 31 batteries but it will add another 30 pounds to the battery compartment. Long story Our house batteries, two 12 volt floating lead acid Group 27 no-namer's, have always been weak and finally flamed out. If...

Hey guys! I did a lot of reading/searching on the forum and couldn't find an answer so I thought I'd ask. 2020 E-PRO FD19 with upgraded solar After bringing it home and plugging the it in the converter fan runs constantly and the solar control panel which shows the battery charge won't get...

Will the charging system on a 2017 MBS SunSeeker, charge a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery to its full potential (sorry about the pun, but the Lion Energy UT Safari 1300 batteries I am considering can accept a charge up to 14.6V), both off the vehicle's alternator and from shore power? Or would I...

Hoping for a response from Forest River please. And insights from other Isata people who may have experienced these things. We have a 2020 Isata 3 on a 2018 Mercedes chassis. Only 7000 km on it. First, we just returned from a three day trip with some rain and returned with water leaking from...

I just replaced my four house batteries with like models on my 2015 GT364TS. The old original units where dead as could be. I have been on shore power (50amp) for about a week until this morning I disconnected shore power to take the coach in for an oil change. I powered the inverted on to...

Will a pair of group 27 batteries fit in the compartment? Thanks for any help

Hello all 2021 FR Sunseeker LE (Ford E450) 2 - 125AH AGM, 12v batteries wired in parallel BMV-712 wired in BIM 160 48vdc ignition protection relay From reading the BIM manual, the BIM should allow charging of both coach and chassis batteries only when either is true, on shore power or when...

Hello! We have a 1980 Fleetwood Tioga motorhome. Our 12v isnt working. The fridge and overhead lights don't work, even when plugged in. We saw this thread here: https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f215/12-volt-dc-circuit-breaker-with-manual-reset-154141.html that mentioned a manual...

What happens when you hook up your trailer with LiFePO4 batteries and it's below zero C? Low temp charge limit is 0 deg C and low temp discharge limit is -20 deg C. I assume the battery allows you to run all your DC stuff because it can still discharge. But it will not accept a charge from...

I see these batteries on sale at Costco. The Lion Energy Safari UT1300 2 pack. Got pretty good reviews from what I was able to search. Does anyone have any experience with them? I think its a good deal from what I've found out online. Yes I know they are not Battle Born but what do people...

Has anyone experience with Group-28 batteries in their RV? Supposedly, they are physically about the same size as Group-24, but are available in 120-ah rating. They are apparently considered as "heavy duty" battery for "trucks, buses, coaches, farm applications." Just curious ...

In case this has been covered before please let me know where to find it, as a search did not do the trick. We just spend 7 nights at the North Rim GC campground with no electrical hookup. We have 800W of solar and 400AH of lithium batteries and a Victron battery monitor. The camp side was just...

Upgrading batteries for dry camping in National Parks. Looked at 2 six volt golf cart batteries. Talked to Trojann and they tell me RVs are not a target market for their golf cart batteries. The GCart batt need/have to be EQUALIZED once a month. Equalization is not the same as sulfacation. My...

I have a 2021 Geo Pro FBS. I was wondering if the factory installed Go Power solar controller is wired for 2 batteries. The controller is equipped to manage two batteries and I would like to add a second to the system.. Thanks?

I have a 2015 FR forester MBS, purchased new. It has a Precision Circuits Battery control center. When I am driving down the road my low battery alarm comes on and I have to turn the generator on. I have been doing this a long time. Not sure if it ever worked. Top terminal on the solenoid is for...
