battery

Hello, I am looking to switch to AGM batteries for my Forester 3011dds. Are there any modifications that need to be done ? Will these be ok to use with the generator as I currently do with the original batteries? Thank you!

Trailer is hooked up to shore power at our house via a heavy gauge extension cord. A set up Ive used for years. I recently replaced the extension cord. My batteries will not show full charge on the panel 90% of the time, even when plugged in. I have 2 year old batteries that read 12.5 v on...

I just bought this rig, and it does have 2 12v batteries under the steps. I will get the converter model, but is it possible to replace these 2 batteries with one 100aH lithium battery? Not sure if this converter is lithium compatible. I see Lithium batteries are really inexpensive now...

I’ve seen where some have their battery banks connected so that the positive feed is from one end battery and the negative is from the other end battery when all are in parallel. I connect mine to the middle of three batteries. Electrically it’s the same and it works out better physically for...

Hi and thanks in advance (as usual) for any input! After considering some really good input on this forum I'm going to go half and half, with one battery (for now) to replace NO batteries and a small-ish solar generator. Question: anyone know what group size the batteries that came with the...

This is my first post on this forum… hope I’m putting it in the right place. We have a 2014 Sunseeker with two house batteries. We’ve had it about 18 months and put two matching marine deep cycle maintenance free 1 year batteries when we purchased it. Recently we had a problem with sewer gas...

The wife and I might try some boon-docking next year up in the Maine woods. I currently have two 6V 232ah flooded batteries and 340 watts of solar, I am looking at swapping them out next spring with three or four 12v 260ah Lifepo4’s with integrated BMS. My question, since my batteries currently...

Decided to build a heater for my lifepo4 batteries rather than utilizing one of the expensive aftermarker options. Used - 4) 6"x12"x 1/8" aluminum plates, 6) 7w 12v heater elements w/ adhesive backing, and 4) 40 degree C thermal limit switches, costing ~$60 on Amazon. With heaters attached...

Has anyone upgraded to Lithium batteries and if so what changes did you have to make to the charging system? I have a 378TS with four house batteries.

IWe are changing our batteries going to Lithium. In the process of doing the conversion we have turned off the battery isolation switch, and unplugged from shore power. One of the positive cables it remains hot 13.43 volt exactly the same as chassis voltage even when disconnected. The battery...

I just noticed that my Salem FSX has a second battery disconnect on the underside of the trailer frame. Pretty much on the opposite side of the disconnect located on the outside of the trailer. Why are there two? And do they both perform the same functions? I have no idea what the one on the...

Had my 8801 plugged into shore power checked on it this morning and the batteries were low does it not charge the batteries all the time when on shore power or just randomly, I checked all the fuses and switch’s as soon as I pulled the se one fuse and out it back the converter started running

2022 Primetime Sanibel 3102RSWB 5th wheel. Has a solar plug at the front just above the auto leveling control panel. Will a solar panel connected to that maintain a charge on the battery and also will it do so with the disconnect switch turned off or will it need to remain on?

Looking for advice on battery life. Ok I bought a cheap battery, no lectures please...So I went from 2 batteries connected in parallel to 1 battery as we seldom camp without shore power. I bought a new FVP battery at a big box store. It's aM31-8DP 800 CCA marine dual purpose. I charged it and...

Hi there -- I am about to winterize my Isata 3 for winter (first time for me, I'm a newbie here ;-)) and I've been told to remove the 2 chassis lithium batteries and put them in a heated place for winter. It was also suggested to buy an intelligent battery charger and plug the batteries for the...

How does the battery come out of its case on a 2023 forest river villa 40FDEN. does the case pull out

On my 2023 Forester 2441, the battery cutoff switch has a switch position marked “ACTUATOR”. What is that position used for? Also, why does that position allow removal of the switch cover/pointer? Thank You Bill Coates
