I have a Rockwood Signature 8263MBR with a Go Power GP-PWM-30-UL controller and 200 watt panel on the roof. The trailer came with two 81 Ah lead acid batteries that got very discharged this winter so I bought two 12V 100 Ah lithium batteries from LiTime. I charged and installed them in parallel...
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...
2015 Forest River Wolf Pup 16ft
All electrical working fine
Problem - new outside LED light string.
- when connecting hot and ground directly to battery, lights up fine
- when connecting LED string ground and hot to the outside side light hot and ground wires, the LED string will not light up...
I have a 2022 Flagstaff Epro 19FD. It came with one Powertron 12V Deep Cycle Battery. There is no additional information on the label of the battery except a label on the top of the battery (D24DC-140). I have search for 2 days trying to find additional information about the battery. I am...
2022 imagine xls 23LDE is less than 2yrs old. One 165w solar panel, furrion mppt 25a, interstate 80ah lead acid. No problems until now. Third day camping come home to warm 12v fridge. Battery meter on docking station shows 3% and not charging- despite bright sunny day and plugged into shore...
Hello,
I've built a battery box to house LifePo4 batteries that I will be placing my passthrough (2019 Geo Pro 19FBS). I initially planned to mount this on the other side of the heater, but I wanted to check-in to see if that was ok/safe to do. I could move it to the other side of the...
Hello. I have a 2011 Rockwood Roo 23SS. I just took it camping over the weekend. I think I have an issue with the battery charging system because today when we packed up to leave my brake controller did not pair with my controller app and I believe it was because the controller got no power...
Hello, I have a 2017 Forester 3011. On my second set of batteries. When I am plugged into 30 Amp shore my LCI panel reads 13. plus and also when driving and on generator. Shortly after I disconnect the panel drops to 12.6 and I get nervous about the batteries being empty by morning. This is for...
I connected my Renogy 700W inverter for the first time. I connected the inverter negative directly to the battery. With battery shutoff on off, the other DC circuits still have power. Same whether inverter is on or off. So how are the circuits getting power? Through the ground wires? (The...
I am new to this forum and would appreciate some clarification.
I have a 2021 wildwood FSX RV.
We will be going to an area without hydro for camping trip. RV has a WF-8735-AD Power center.
I have installed new 200 amp Battery, 200 amp solar panel and a Renogy Rover 40A Charge controller. I did...
Does the battery assist the slideout for power? Or does the slide work just fine with only shore power. I am probably over thinking this but, I have wondered if the slide draws at all from the battery when connected to shore power. I've always been at a campground with full hook up's and full...
Got my new SOK in and charged it up last night. Dropped it in the RV today to do some load testing. All went well. There's room for a 4th and I made the cables all equal length so a fourth can go in.
With one 15k BTU aircon + the fireplace on high (weird combo, right?) I was pulling...
I know this is a budget RV and didn't expect much from the solar system. I set the 12v fridge at the minimum position and was told it could sit in the yard and sustain itself. The dealer lied. If I wanted to run a furnace at night I was told to add another battery. It has two of the dealer's...
Finished installing a shutoff switch on the negative side of the batteries on my HW277. The loads that are shut off include my solar controller. Instructions for the Renogy controller say the battery should be connected before solar. So should I make a change to connect the controller...
So, I thought I'd be doing some boondocking, so I got (2) 6V wet cell deep cycle batteries. Never did boondock!
Batteries aren't holding a charge as well lately, so time to replace. I leaning towards going back to marine starting/deep cycle. Here's my reasoning...
I'm usually plugged in, and...
Just bought a 2024 Momentum 23g this year. It came with 2 x 200W solar panels, and a WFCO WF-5220 2000W Inverter (pictured, on the floor).
I opened up the access panel in the front external storage compartment, and found a lot of empty space above the inverter and next to the solar controller...
I have a 2019 Chevy Express 4500 chassis with a model 2290 Forest River class C RV. If I'm plugged into shore power will that charge my chassis battery as well as the two house batteries? Or do I need to keep a trickle charger on the chassis battery?
Where is the solenoid physically located that temporarily connects the house batteries to the chassis batteries for starting.
When it actuates does it also temporarily disconnect the house batteries from the house?
Freightliner M2106 chassis
SOK battery owners need to know.
In 2022 SOK installed a new bms during production. It gave us Bluetooth monitoring and heat to allow more usage in cold weather.
In my case while in storage the batteries went to Zero. Turning the converter on did nothing. Many of the chargers and...
So I have a 2014 Rockwood 1640 which I just bought. It's an older popup. Everything works fine. Let me know if the following tests will achieve what I want to know.
Q1) Does the tow vehicle and/or shore power connection recharge the battery.
A1) Place multi-meter across the terminals before and...
It’s time to replace my Dynamax Force AGM 4D’s with 2 new ones, staying with AGM’s.
MY QUESTIONS; once I figure out how best to lift them out and in, can I simply turn off the feed to the house side and then take the cables and related wires off of the battery terminals? Will some component...
So we have been camping the last few days and it has been cold close to zero degrees. We have a 2005 Gerorgetown 370XL with artic package. All has been fine until today i woke up and it was cooler inside. I turn the led lights on and appeared dim. Checked battery level and they were very low. We...
I have a 2013 Rockwood 1640LTD (i.e. 2013 Flagstaff 176).
I didn't get a manual so am unsure if:
a) Does shore power and my vehicle charge the battery? If so, can I just plug it in my driveway before leaving to charge up the battery?
b) When I'm off the grid, how many days will the battery...
I am thinking about moving my two SOK batts from the basement to under the front bed. We don't use that space for anything and it has better HVAC than the basement. And (this is the best part) there is room for adding more batteries. Below is what I am thinking.
The batts would go to a...
