    Conversion from lead-acid to LiFePO batteries

    Changing house batteries to Lithium

    Our new '23 Prism Elite came with two 12v AGM batteries and I've decided to upgrade to two Renegy 12v Lithium batteries. The converter and charge controller adjusts to Lithium but I have been advised that I should have a dc-dc converter to protect the alternator on the Sprinter from...

    23MK Solar, Batteries, and now an Inverter

    Thank you, forum members, for all the advice. My 2022 23MK came with a 150 Watts of solar and (1) 12-volt Deep Cycle battery. It would not keep the 12V Refrigerator going for 12 hours and dry camping is something we occasionally like to do. A few before, during and after pictures attached. I...

    Help - Batteries

    REF: 2021 Vibe 21BH Today, while prepping for a trip, I shut off the breaker at my home for my 50 amp pedestal to disconnect and check my 30 amp cables. When I went back to the coach and turned on the 12v overhead lights, nothing. I have a digital 12v read out mounted which normally will read...

    Two group 24 batteries vs the stock 27?

    (Apologies - new to the forum) Any thoughts on replacement of the stock group 27 battery on my new Grey Wolf 19SM with two group 24 agm’s? Looks like they’ll fit, charge faster, take a bit more abuse, and provide about 50% more amp-hours but…

    Coach batteries- removal and installation

    My two house batteries are dead. I went to Walmart to buy size 27 deep cycle batteries, but saw their new stock of size 29 Everstart Maxx. The latter is rated with higher 114 ah. It is a little bit wider than the generic battery that came with the rig, but I think I could squeeze the pair in the...

    2022 RW Signature 8263MBR Lithium batteries: installed internally or externally

    We’re debating whether to have the two 100Ah 12-volt batteries installed in the nose of our RW Signature 8263MBR (front kitchen) travel trailer, or to have them installed in the nose compartment. We may want to (in the near future) add 1 or 2 more 100Ah 12-volt batteries due to power...

    Chateau 24f Swapped out stereo, now 12v power is dead, breaker location?

    2018 Chateau 24f - I swapped out the Axxera AVM70 for a Dual Electronics XDCPA11BT. Perfect fit, followed the instructions and disconnected the negative terminal on the chassis battery (admittedly, I now realize that was pointless as instructions were for a regular car). Lesson learned. After...

    Nothing Working Despite Charged Batteries

    I have a 2018 Geo Pro 16BH. We've had it since new and thus far have had few issues with power. That has changed. We have charged batteries (disconnected them and checked with battery charger/monitor). The panel indicates the batteries are charged. But I am unable to use anything electrical on...

    Charging batteries with solar

    Hi all, I just bought a new 2022 IBEX 19QBS. It has a GoPower! 180watt solar panel on the roof and a 10amp GoPower! solar controller. I want to upgrade the solar as it has a 12 volt fridge which will be a constant draw on the batteries. I am thinking of adding the GoPower! expansion pack with...

    Can't express my disappointment Forrest Rivers energy battery/solar set up on this Mk23 Grey wolf Travel Trailer.

    How to determine if batteries are dead

    This year it seems my batteries don’t last more than half a day before the lights are dim, weird stuff flickering etc. I haven’t put a volt meter to them but I know they are under voltage: I threw a battery charger on them tonight. I guess I’m trying to determine if these batteries have any life...
