    No power on battery

    If you have no 12v Power from the battery and the battery isn't charging, check the 12v umbilical box near the tongue behind the battery. It's very crowded in there but I found the negative ground battery terminal wire connected to a bolt at the very back of the box had pulled out of the crimp...

    As our ‘24 DX3 had been sitting for a month, over the weekend I went to my storage site to check on things, start the engine, run the generator, etc. I was surprised to see the lithium battery state of charge was down to 54%, even though I keep plugged in to 110V when not in use. While...

    I have a Wolf Pup 15SW. The lead acid battery was under the jack knife sofa. I changed it to 100ah LiFePo4.

    Battery Question

    On my 2022 DynaQuest XL 3801TS when I'm driving and on the inverter, the Victron monitor usually shows that the State of Charge drops from 100% to a lower percentage.

    Failed battery platform

    After 8000 miles, the platform holding my original battery failed on one side due to the rivets breaking. This caused it to fall onto the second battery I had installed underneath it. Luckily, it fell on the side opposite the terminals. Otherwise, I'd have had a major short, or worse, a fire...

    We just made a 3 day trip, towing our 25KS. After we arrived at our destination & disconnected from the pickup, we went into town for a few items.
