    New batteries

    Reading about Lithium vs golf cart batteries 6 vs 12 volts. I'm getting a Go Power charging System just to keep to battery up to light the propane fridge & a few lights. We have a large generator to do the rest. Bottom line....what batteries will give us the longest performance? Thanks

    Batteries Dead Won't Charge

    I must have left something on in my Dynamax Isata 5 when I left it unplugged from my house power. The batteries are stone dead and don't charge when plugged in to a 15 amp outlet in my house. Is there a breaker somewhere that might be tripped?

    Hello fellow RVers, (2004 Georgetown 308 XL) This morning I swapped my house batteries (3 years old) that wouldn't hold a charge anymore for two spanking new golf cart batteries from Costco. I have a distinct feeling that the alternator does not charge the house batteries. 2 years back I...

    Low cabin batteries

    Hello folks. I suspect the charging system on my 2014 Forester has failed. Cabin batteries went bad after 2 years of very little use. Can someone point me in the right direction regarding the Onan 4000 generator’s process of sending a charge to the cabin batteries? Or the shore line sending...

    Solar to Batteries

    I'm picking up our new 30DS Wednesday and was curious as to where the solar connects to the batteries. Is it before the master cut-off switch, i.e. the solar panels will still charge the batteries with the master switch 'off'. Thanks, John C

The Zamp solar charge controller was working fine until the recent heat wave, now the charge controller shows a "b01 fault" meaning it doesn't see the battery. Voltage at the battery is fine. Voltage at the solar controller is 0v. So...

    I just purchased a 2015 FR3 30DS class A and I'm working on getting it setup for my use. Could not find this info in the manual or specific info online.
