batteries

I have a Dynamax Force and I need to check if my engine charges my house batteries. My inverter runs my fridge and a few 110 plugs, 200 watts of solar on the roof, when and how does the engine charge the house?

I just bought a 2022 GEO PRO G19BH and the dual batteries that are hooked to my solar panel are draining fast. I went into the unit to stock it up and get it prepped for a trip and only used my radio in the Camper and the levels dropped below half with only an hour and a half of usage. Did I...

I have a 2017 Forester 3051s. 30 amp shore. It has a Progressive Dynamics power supply with LA 60amp converter. I talked to Progressive and was told I just need to change my converter to the LI version of my converter and they gave me the part number I needed. But I have a concern. It seems to...

Lithium batteries are clearly the best long-term choice, but for me, they would just be a gift to the next guy because I expect to enjoy this RV for 3 to 5 years on the outside. So I'm looking now at AGM or "hybrid" batteries, which I hear charge more quickly than std. lead acid. Recommendations...

It seems our coach batteries are dead. 2018 DX3. If you replaced yours did u buy what was in there or something else.....the batteries are 6yrs old.....thx

Hi everyone, we just purchased a new 22MLE. We need to have enough power to run starlink for RV so my wife can work. It’s a bit overwhelming with some of the installations I have seen. We are looking for something simple like portable solar panels, upgrade batteries and install an inverter...

Hi Kind of a long post, I apologize. I've been asking a lot of electrical questions and been getting helpful information. I have yet another question. I took my 2 105ah Lion LFP batteries to the dealer to have them installed on our Geo Pro 20BHS while they do some pre-delivery work. They tied...

What is needed to convert my rig to lithium batteries? My rig came new with a factory installed 190W solar panel and controller. It has lead-acid batteries. It has a Firefly control panel. When the outside temp gets down in the mid-30s at night, I need to run the generator for an hour...

We just bought a 2005 Forest River Lexington. I'm going through the usual repairs of a used RV (We've owned many over the years.) So I'm in a local RV parts/repair store talking batteries. The last batteries I replaced were on my 2001 Bounder. I put 2- 6 volt deep cells in that. We don't do a...

Photo attached below. It's the one in the storage bay next to the battery bay. There's also one in the bedroom above the bed. Will be in a cool spot for a while without hookups and would like to run a small TV and fan off a 12V inverter for short periods of time. I want to ensure that these 12V...

I am looking to change my batteries on my Isata3 to Battle Born 100Ah 12V LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Batteries. I was thinking I just have to swap them out and then someone said they heard that you have to make other modifications. Specifically they said I may need to upgrade my charger/converter...

I have a 2022 Flagstaff MicroLite 21FBRS. It came with 190 Watt rooftop solar panels. My question is - Do I need to do anything/add something to make them work? Or will they charge my batteries automatically? Also, there is an outside port to add portable solar panels. Same question - is there...

I have a 2022 Forest River Sunseeker 2860DS and dealer told me that I have to use a half inch socket wrench to disconnect the battery cables in order check my water levels. Apparently when the cables were installed they covered the battery plates for checking water levels. Dealer said there was...

2022 Dynamax DX3 37TS All blackout edition. Just Got it home and have changed nothing. Parked in a heated garage with shore power plugged in. Batteries are not charging. 2 Lithium batteries (300 aH each) 3000W inverter. Batteries only charge when RV is running. I have run through multiple...

We are less than a week into our 2023 Isata 5 30FW Explorer. Loving the learning curve on all the systems but stumped on this problem. The house batteries are not charging on shore power. They charge from the alternators but the state of charge steadily declines as we sit plugged in. The...

Sorry if I've missed earlier discussion of this (I have a helluva time finding specific things like this on WTW). My 2016 Fleet came with two Exide Edge AGM 24 DP batteries. As the date shows, they've lasted six plus years, and they served my purposes well, but they are on their last legs. As...

Pretty new to this forum and hoping someone can help me answer this question. I just purchased a 2018 Forest River Vibe 288RLS. It came "ZAMP Solar Ready" and has a Xantrex Freedom X 1200 Inverter mounted to the inside wall of the cargo bay. The question I have is "What runs off the Inverter...

Anyone know what type and what amp hours stock Batteries in a 2022 sunseeker would be? Sent from my Pixel 5 using Forest River Forums mobile app

I have a 2017 Forester 3051s on shore power with no house batteries in it during the winter. Is it OK to connect the 12 volt converter cable to the 12 volt out cable that our in the battery box to run my 12 volt system?

Hello Forum, My wife Hope and I have owned Bertha since 2017. We have taken four cross country trips of 60 days or longer, travelled the northeast, mid Atlantic and southeast, along with shorter, local trips. We prefer to camp in National Parks, National Forests and State Parks as we take in the...

Hi All, have had LIFPo4 batteries in my 2892RB for a couple years now and they are great but I have not towed the RV since installing the batteries and am wondering what precautions i should be taking? There seems to be a lot of confusing info out there with people talking about damaging their...
