    converter that charges ship batteries

    Hello! First time poster. It appears that I need to replace my 2006 Georgetown 359TS ship's batteries. My question is that when connected to shore power, what voltage should I see with a multi tester to determine if the converter is properly charging the ships batteries? Thanks in advance...

    what batteries to buy?

    I have a Palomino Solaire 147X, has a single (group 24 I think?) battery. Won't run the furnace for very long (found that out the hard way!). I want to go to a dual battery set-up; which two should I buy?

    What do batteries run

    Hi all , I have an Isata 3 and have used it under shore power or generator. We can not run generator tonight. I was under the impression that the plugs would be powered but the are not energized. Interior lights and vents work. Is that just the way it is?

    Charging chassis and house batteries while driving...what I have found

    For about a year I have had an intermittent problem with my house batteries not being charged with the alternator while driving. It would work fine sometimes and sometimes only the chassis battery would take a charge. It would correct itself so I kind of lived with it. I have found one thing...

    House Batteries and corrosion buildup?

    Since I took ownership I have always checked and filled my 2 lead acid house batteries every 3-4 weeks. Lately I started seeing corrosion buildup more and more after I clean it off. Was curious what causes this? They are at least 3 years old. I plan on removing the hold down bracket and cleaning...

    New Batteries - Indicator shows Low Battery

    Hi All, We recently bought a 2009 Forest River Georgetown and just replaced the batteries. When my husband installed them, the battery indicator still shows low battery. Any ideas on what to check or what else the issue could be?

    Sunseeker house batteries don’t charge?

    When we had a 2010 Georgetown, the house batteries would recharge from the V-10 engine alternator when it was running. Do the house batteries NOT get recharged from the Ford E450 alternator under a Sunseeker motorhome? My Sunseeker command centre has a battery display, and it was not...

    House battery charging question? Charging batteries from two sources simultaneously

    I have a basic question about charging my Lithium house batteries from 2 sources at the same time. If my batteries are being charged from my chasis alternator at 14.4 Volts while driving and my newly installed 300 Watt solar panels are also charging batteries at 14.4 volts as I drive, will...

    Monitoring our batteries

    Greetings! I have seen a number of threads about battery monitoring. I’d like to have a device that hooks to our two batteries and let’s me know how much juice they have left. Does anyone have experience with the ANCEL BM300? Our pup has two batteries, I assume they are load balanced. I’d like...

    6V Batteries

    Has anyone replaced the two 12V batteries with four 6V batteries? This question is specific to the 2015 Solera 24R because it is possible the battery boxes are different sizes in other years/models. If you did replace I would like to ask you further questions. Thanks in advance.

    6V batteries and 12V motors

    My 12V battery was starting to not last as long as it use to and we want to do more dry camping. So after lots of research I decided to change out the batteries with (2) Duracell 225AH 6V batteries. When we went camping this weekend and I went to put down the tongue jack I could tell it was...

    Can the motorhome be plugged in while stored with lithium batteries?

    Just a quick question. After doing a complete changeover to lithium including lithium progressive dynamics charger, li-bim 225 and solar set to lithium can the unit stay plugged in? What I see on the Victron shunt is it goes to zero watts and zero amps. I assume the BMS will control it. Any...

    Batteries drain on shore power

    Just bought a lightly used 2018 Sunseeker 2400 WSD. Took it out for the first trip and everything worked great. The only problem is that while plugged into shore power the batteries went from full to empty. What should I check to see why the battery is not charging. TIA!

    Batteries

    I store my FR 3051S inside of a barn with power available. I generally don’t have battery problems but this year due to Covid-19 the unit has set longer than usual and all 3 batteries went dead. The engine battery and 1 house lived after charging. To prevent this problem, because it may not be...
