batteries

Given the current prices of LiFePO batteries thinking of switching from my current 2 GC-2 configuration. Battery box won't fit most 12V 200AH LiFePO batteries, but will fit 2x 12V 100AH. Have a Both/#1/#2/Off battery cutoff switch. Of course, I could fit a single 100AH LiFePO and have close...

I was going to purchase Lithium to replace my lead acids, however the manufacturer says that my trailer 1900MMK is not compatible with Lithium. Can I make the trailer compatible at a decent cost? Thank you.

I’ve read that I may need to update my converter to install the 2 100ah Lifepo4 batteries I bought to replace the 2 flooded lead acid batteries that came with the unit, but I’m not sure how to confirm this. There is nothing I see on the converter to identify the model. Any info/help is greatly...

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?

Hello all, first thank you for this forum which I may be leaving soon since we have bought a 2022 26' Keystone Cougar, shorter by 6 ft than our Primetime Avenger BHS. We could have spent $4000 more and gotten a 2024 Cougar but it came with lithium batteries which my DW feared would catch fire...

I finally decided to go with LIP batteries and they all have no lead posts. They have a small bolt head screwed all the way in(pic 2), or some just a female screw hole! The trailer came with a DP24-85 (double post?) LA stock battery so it has pos and neg lead posts and pos and neg screw posts...

I got the stock 1000 watt inverter. Of course it came with the standard deep cycle battery. Ive got two 100ah batteries and wondering if its overkill. If two in parallel is, could I just use one while charging another with my portable solar panel ? Just hate to have disconnect and reconnect. My...

My 5er has 2 interstate batteries with an inverter. The wiring of the batteries appears to me incorrect. I have one negative cable that is just not connected to anything. I was wondering if anyone else has this, why it is not connected, if it supposed to be connected, connected to what? I...

Hello, this is my first post, I hope I did this correctly. I have a 2021 GT32A3. I want to upgrade the power converter to a pure sine wave inverter/charger. I already have a pretty good idea of inverter wattage requirement, I just need to know the amp/hour rating of the OEM coach batteries. The...

I am struggling trying to remove the batteries from the front compartment of my 317RLOK. Does anyone have ideas on how to do this easily? Also has anyone removed and changed the shelf with something else? If so, any pictures of your area for ideas would be great.

Hello Everyone, I put our 2021 ISATA5 28ss RV into (outside/non-covered) storage in October. Unfortunately, there are no power connections at our storage facility. Before leaving, I turned off the power to the RV in the power bay (red turn switch on right) to reduce parasite draw on batteries...

My 4 house batteries are not charging. I am plugged into a 30 amp outlet. I have 14.37 volts carried through my system to the battery control center. I have checked the battery disconnect switch and it is on, however, I only register .6 volts on the positive battery charging cable. The...

We just picked up our new FR3 30DS on 12/2. With the 2024 changeover, Forest River is now using Battle Born Batteries. Nowhere in the FR3 information did they mention they would be heated BBBs, but low and behold, they are. We did our walk-through and the technician didn't mention it. In fact...

The 2011 Sunseeker we just bought has two 12V AGM batteries that need to be replaced. If I put a LiFePO4 battery (either a 100a/h or 200a/h) under the steps to replace them, and replaced the charger (which is in the back storage compartment) with a LiFePO4 charger would I be all set? Is there...

Hello, A novice looking for advice. Problem: DC power will not run on batteries. DC will run on shore. Inverter shows all green lights. AC power outlets work. It confuses me that the inverter and the AC continue to work Any advice? Equipment: 2018 GeoPro 12rk 2 new 6volt...

I have a 2023 Forest River Sunseeker motorhome. I just purchased 2 new 12volt lithium 100 amp batteries.Do I need to purchase anything else to change over to the lithium batteries.I have a 190 watt solar panel on the roof.

So went on our 2nd trip, tried Boondocking out in the desert. very sunny day so i figured the solar would handle everything. so we were out all day. nothing on inside. about 2am i noticed the fridge was blinking and looked at the Firefly, it has the coach batteries at 11.7. so i got turned on...

Hi. My coach batteries are not charging when I am driving. If a press the emergency switch at the base of the driver's seat, then it charges. So the problem is not the alternator. The batteries also charges when the motorhome is plugged on 120V AC. I suspect a blown fuse or a bad relay but I...

Hi all, That age old question - I am looking to drop in some LiFePO4 batteries into my 2014 Jayco Flamingo with a Voltech ISC 3040 MPPT solar charger. Wondering if I can get away with using this controller or do I need to swap it out for something else with a lithium charge profile? Or is it...

Just curious and this may be a stupid question, but... On a Sunseeker with Ford E450 V10, will the alternator charge the house batteries while driving? I noticed a second red cable on my starting battery and I don't know where it goes to or what it does. Bill Schneider

I have a 2019 Geo Pro 19FD. Do I need to change anything to change to lithium batteries? Thanks Todd

I need to replace the 2 original batteries that came with my 2019 Geo Pro 14FK. Any recommendations as to deep-cycle batteries? I am open to a pair of 6v golf cart batteries. If it matters, the camper is in an extremely cold climate zone. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone. Question - I have a 2023 Georgetown GT7 36D7. If we are not running AC or Heat (saying it's 55-69 degrees outside), how long should I expect the batteries to support the fridge, water pump, outlets, tv's etc? This is assuming we have partially sunny days to recharge the batteries...

So was just wondering what most do for the Motor home batteries. We have a cold winter and i have always taken the battery out of our trailer and stored in the garage. I know some they just disconnected the batteries and leave in the trailer. Our motor home has 3, 2 in the back under the stairs...

Hi, and thanks in advance for any input! I have a 2015 Salem T21RBS. It's sitting stationary in a park and when we bought it three years ago it had no batteries (cables are just sitting there loose; we run off shore power with no problems 24/7/365). I'd like to replace the batteries for power...
