    Solar Charge Controller after LiFePO4 Battery

    Hi all. Just installed a 300ah LiFePO4 battery this morning. Changed the Solar Charge Controller over to LFP battery. I believe it is reading the correct voltage where my battery is at now, about 13.4, but the SOC has said nothing but 100% all day when the battery display shows 86%. Do I have a...

    House Battery Replacement

    I have a 2015 Legacy 360RB. There are four house batteries but I can't read any information on them to know what I should replace them with. I assume they are 6V golf cart type batteries. Can anyone help me?

I want to go with AGM so that I don't have to water the batteries(no $$ for Lithium) and I need some input to...

    Battery drain

    2018 3010DS Sunseeker. I am thinking of upgrading to lithium and checked my PD converter/charger. Turns out the PD can charge the lithium by removing a cable and adding a jumper. Not my question. I store the RV for one or two months between uses. When I pick it up the house batteries are...

    Battery to Inverter cables

    In doing a Group 24 Lead Acid to 200Ah LiFePO4 upgrade, my battery location will move from the tongue to under the bed. A short negative battery cable can connect it to nearby inverter. (I'll be abandoning the long negative line coming from the battery box on the tongue.) From the new battery...

    new battery....LiFePO4???

    Wow! I started reading posts about Lithium batteries and keep falling off the cliff into spending $$$ rewiring the trailer, changing converters, installing solar, etc. etc. All I intended was to get a new battery. With my limited knowledge I thought maybe I could just put a 12 volt lithium in...

    Lithium battery won’t charge

    2022 ePro sat outside in winter. Now the lithium battery won’t charge or won’t hold a charge. The solar charger suggests the battery is full, the main battery panel shows 0% charge and 0 running time. I did reset the yellow breaker relay multiple times. What can I do next?

    At my wits end with my Battery Control Center SDC 107A

    My 2009 Forest River Georgetown GTX3600 won't charge my house batteries while on shore power. But shore power will charge my chassis battery. Also If I start the engine, the alternator will charge the chassis and house batteries with 13.6vdc. After much reading, I thought perhaps a...

    Do I need to a converter if using a battery charger

    Hello, my converter just died and I was wondering if I needed to replace it, or if I could just hook up my NOCO 5AH battery charger and it would do the same thing. I just did this on my last camping trip where I used an extension cord to plug in my battery charger the whole time while my battery...

    Battery questions

    Our new Surveyor Legend came with one battery. Is it difficult to add a second one? We've only put a few miles on the one we have (AGM) Also, besides the battery shutoff, my husband disconnects the battery wire. I thought the solar would keep the battery charged to prevent it going dead from the...
