    Batteries dead. Not charging from solar.

    I have as Flagstaf 21FBRS with 2 batteries and a solar panel. I was told that the solar panel would always keep the batteries charged.

    Solar Controller won't detect batteries.

    So long story short the wife and I got a new 2024 ibex 19MBH 2 weeks ago and it's been nothing but problems. The first issue was nothing would run off batteries. Shore power would work, generator would work but when those were disconnected nothing would power. The solar controller showed...

Continuing decline in the cost of lithium batteries made the decision to switch easy and created new power and weight opportunities. I choose the new group 24 100 ah Litime blue tooth batteries (4) and A...

    LiFePo4 batteries still charged after 2 winters

    Just went out to check the camper in storage. Been sitting there unused for 18 months. My 2xSOK LiFePO4batteries were still at 13.5V. So they survived 2 winters without being charged (or used). Pretty cool. And last winter it got really cold (-20 deg F). We will be using them again...

    House Batteries

    I just purchased a used Georgetown and I'm not sure if it has the correct house battery. It has a type 24 marine. It does not say deep cycle. It has one battery tray with two spots for batteries. My question is what should be in there and is a type 34 too big?
