charging

Last weekend, we were boondocking for one night, not too far from home. Overnight, we used the inverter and used up the batteries. In the morning, I noticed that even after starting the generator, the batteries did not charge up. So, I started the coach engine, and we headed home. By the...

First time out with new LFP batteries. To recap the system, in addition to switching to LFP, I added a 4 AWG welding cable parallel to the OEM 8 AWG wire between the battery and the converter. I did not upgrade the OEM WF-8955 power center because I have a solar system to top off the batteries...

Does anyone know if I am plugged in to 120 volt 30 amp AC are my batteries being charged? Or are they only being charged when I'm hooked up to my tow vehicle. This is on my Forest River pop up 2018 stse

Greetings, I already know my issue is a blown fuse from the alternator to the coach batteries. I cannot seem to find this phantom fuse. This is a Leprechaun with a 2017 Ford Transit 350HD. Cab batteries under the seat ( see no 100 amp fuse there) which I'm told is where its at the Coach...

I was driving home the other day from a camping trip and the monitors showed the batteries were not being charged by the engine/alternator. Got home, a bit later went out to put the RV on the leveling jacks and the engine/alternator started charging again. (This is based on inverter panel...

Just wondering if my trailer house batteries will charge while plugged into shore power when the main trailer house breaker is off. Is it necessary to run the inverter while parked in between trips to charge the batteries? TIA!

I was thinking about methods to charge from the tow vehicle while under way. Instead of charging from a DC-DC charger which would require heavy cables for significant current, why not put a good sized AC inverter on the tow vehicle and run 120 VAC to the trailer and let the converter in the...

Good morning everyone and happy Easter. I just had my First long trip (900 miles) since I bought my 2021 287bh Arctic wolf in January . (2nd overall trip) . So far my only complaint is that the USB ports are flaking out. 3 of them no longer work and one stopped working with nothing even plugged...

I have installed on my 2016 Forester on Ford E450 chassis BB lithium batteries along with 300 watts of Renogy solar roof top panels and there 30amp solar controller. I have not upgraded my original PD4560 to Lithium charger. However, I have used resettable bus fuses to isolate the engine...

New to the forum, but not new to forums.... I may be posting this in the wrong place. If so, forgive me. I have a question that so far I haven' been able to figure out. I've searched rv forums and f150 forums, so I'm taking a shot to see if I can find a definitive answer. Will a 2021 F150s...

The generator isn't charging the house batteries for some reason. Shore Power: Charges batteries and all 120V and 12V devices work Generator Power: All 120V and 12V devices work, batteries aren't charging Generator breaker hasn't tripped. Any idea what's going on?

I have a 2015 Ultralight that is " solar ready" with the Zamp port. If I understand the situation correctly all this really means is that an SAE receptical is installed and directly wired to the battery. I received a Renogy " solar suitcase" as a gift and I have the appropriate cables and...

I have a 2020 Ford tow vehicle. My TT has 2 deep cycle batteries and a WFCO 8955PEC that charges the batteries when on shore power. Does the tow vehicle charge them when on the road?

When generator working , this is what i get. But the touch screen still stays black.

Berkshire XL 40 2018 When the engine is running the system is not charging , the lower screen is blanc ! Any ideas of whats wrong ? My house battery's are dead , can that be a problem ? Thanks Mckyver

I have a family of five and we have a multitude of phones, ipads, airpods, and watches all using usb charging. We will be boondocking so I want to have a charging system than doesn't rely on the inverter, which is only 120v. We have a spot in on cupboard below the TV that I'd like to have as a...

I have a 2019 Isata 5 and store it in a lot with no access to electric. I know I can buy a Victron that will charge both the chassis and house batteries off the solar but that's not an option at this time. I also was thinking I can bring the RV home and plug in at my house but have a very...

Has anyone successfully disabled the green light on the USB charging ports installed in various locations around the coach? In particular, there’s one right next to the bed in our 2021 37BH that drives my wife crazy. (It’s right next to her pillow and keeps her awake at night.) For now, it’s...

Am wondering about using this solar charging port on my camper as a convenient place to plug in the 12 volt cord on the generator. And would it be best to wire in a solar controller to monitor and regulate the charging. Comments please. The 2104S came pre-wired with this solar hookup

Another thread about USB charging ports got me 'surfing' for a USB port that I'd bought for my car. This is the latest version of the USB charger port which has a car locator that works well in the previous version of this device that I own. Instead I found this neat little USB port that will...

I have taken 2 3+ hr rides recently with my new 2021 30fw where my phone was connected via BT to the vehicle and used for music and navigation. I started the phone well charged but plugged in the USB to keep it full. Unfortunately it resulted both times with the battery being at around 45% by...

Hello Everyone… I have a 2003 Ford F-53 RV I usually stay hooked up to shore power for 6 months, then leave the RV in storage for the other 6 months … So after 3 years of this schedule the chassis battery died even though I was hooked up for months , and now the deep cycle batteries are...

My onan isn’t charging my house batteries. If I start the coach engine, they do charge. What am I doing wrong?

Our 3 year old 17A is not charging the batteries via the shore power cord. Following the diagnostic instructions in the Cheng converter distribution center manual I tested the voltage coming off the terminals meant to feed the batteries and sure enough it indicates a problem (low/varying...

Hi Folks, could use some help with a charging issue. I bought a 2015 Forester MBS 2401S from my local dealer near end of this past summer. Had a few 4/5 night trips with it and was noticing my battery monitor never showed house batteries ( 2 Optima Blue D34M AGMs ) fully charged even though I...
