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
My FRiver Surveyour TT has a WFCO Ultra 3 WF8900 converter. I have two 12 volt batteries hooked in parallel, with 190 ah. Thinking about switching to two 12 volt AGM batteries/parallel. Any thoughts on AGM battery compatibility with WFCO Ultra 3 WF 8900 converter?? And, pros and cons on std lead...
Not a lot of room on the Ford Chassis for adding batteries but was able to have a bracket built that sits in front of the Step/battery box and lay two more Li batteries on their sides.
With that I added a DC to DC converter on the back of a mounting board and the inverter on the front of the...
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?
I replaced the 2 12v batteries on my fifth wheel with 2 6v. I have an onboard 5500 Onan generator. It will have to run for quite sometime to just get to 2/3 (three red lights) it will then run down rapidly to one light and will not have enough power to turn the generator over. I then have to...
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...
I am getting ready to add solar to our 23bhe, and I am wondering if anyone has done this yet? Specifically, where did you mount the components, where did you run your wires, and lastly where are the OEM wires located for shore power and AC/DC panel.
I am trying to avoid ripping apart the rig in...
My hope is to be able to go at least 3 days 2 nights of travel/boondocking without needing to charge batteries. With that in mind this is what I have done. Added 2x190 watts Gopower panels to my 1x190 watt factory package. Also replaced 2x100ah 12 volt FLA batteries with 4x190ah 6 volt AGM GC2...
Hi Everyone
When using a generator to charge up my two 6 volt golf cart batteries is it quicker to plug the camper into the generator or plug battery charger into generator and hook alligator clips to battery?
hi, just wondering anyone has comments on the best place to get batteries (in canada, preferable within ontario). i've looked on amazon, but if there are any other places....
i'm looking for a 27 group 12v with 100ah.
any comments welcome.
thanks!

Hey everyone,
I've had my 2021 ePro 19FD about 9 months now and have just started boondocking for the first time over the past month. I've never had a problem with the power system before, but it seems like something isn't working right when not on shore power.
I have the 190w solar panels on...
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...
Hi. I purchased a Surveyor Legend 202RBLE in April and am planning to take my first real trip soon. It has a solar panel and Go Power Solar controller. It's in outside storage and the 2 batteries are not being charged. The controller flashes between "Battery One" and Battery Two" and there is a...
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
Hi there, hoping someone might have an idea that might help. Rockwood 2706WS Trailer is 3 months old and has been used one weekend. Everything seemed to work well. Trailer has been parked inside a shop. It has (2) lion energy lithium batteries and the converter was upgraded to the 9855-lis...
I recently purchased a 2020 Forester 2651 Class C motorhome. 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.
Is the FR3 30DS suppose to charge the house batteries from the engine alternator when the engine is running? Seems like that would be a good...
I have a Forest River EVO 195RB. I tried to install 2 - 6 volt batteries in series and found one of the box lids would not fully sit on the box due to the propane tank regulator butting up against it.
Has anybody had experience with lack of space on the tongue of the 195RB for the 2 - 6 volt...
Hello all
I am switching over to lithium in my 2008 17b.
I would like to use the ground post (image) on the converter to ground the battery--- is this ok?
The wiring (image2) looks to me to be
A from battery
B dc from tow vehicle
C to converter
Hopefully this is correct
Is that...
Hello, I’m considering upgrading to lithium on my 2021 19.8 nobo / no boundaries and moving the batteries from the tounge to under the bunk behind the converter. My goals are to keep batteries warmer and reduce tounge weight.
Has anyone else done this or have suggestions? I see some marine...
Sorry, but I'm still learning about my new to me 2016 Rockwood by FR M-214A HW.
I have had the trailer plugged into my house 15a 120v while we are accumulating the gear we need for the first outing. We have been enjoying spending time there and have managed to discharge the battery even though...
