charging

I have 800w solar, 60A Renogy charge controller and battery monitor plus 570AH of lithium batteries that I've been running for 10 months without issues USING ONLY SOLAR to charge the batteries... the PD converter has been turned off until now. The Renogy battery monitor always reflects the...

Hello fellow RVers! I have a 2018 Rockwood Mini Lite 2506S TT. There is a shelf above the sink, on the passenger side wall between the microwave and the front storage cabinet. I would like to add a charging station here and make better use of this mostly unused shelf. I would like to tap...

I purchased a 2024 Isata 5 28SS with the Explorer Package in December 2023 and had some hiccups with the chassis, which made the coach stay at the RAM dealership for several days. Finally brought it home about 2-3 weeks ago, and I noticed the batteries do not stay charged at 100% when plugged in...

Hello and thank you in advance. 2017 Forster 240WS and I have a slow battery draw. It takes w month for it to go flat. on a strider frame, (Mercedes suck). anyway, the question is because getting to the battery is a job ( below the driver floorboard) with the coach battery switch on can I...

Two weeks of cloudy days in Florida and ideas popping. When you charge your batteries with a generator the first 80 Percent of capacity is bulk rate. Batteries accept a high amperage. The last 20 percent is a trickle charge at a much lower rate which takes hours. That's very inefficient with...

Hi, I have a 2023 Forest River Palomina Puma 22RBFQ-2b. We have only had it a couple weeks. We just noticed that the battery keeps dying while plugged into shore power. We got a new battery thinking maybe the one the dealer gave us was bad, but same issue. Everything works for almost 24 hours...

Hello everyone, My battery keeps draining even when it’s hooked up to a 30A. All my outlets, fridge and microwave are working, so power is coming in, but inverter or converter aren’t working. Does anyone know how to test these or where to buy them for replacement?

Hello Everyone, I put our 2021 ISATA5 28ss RV into (outside/non-covered) storage in October. Unfortunately, there are no power connections at our storage facility. Before leaving, I turned off the power to the RV in the power bay (red turn switch on right) to reduce parasite draw on batteries...

My 4 house batteries are not charging. I am plugged into a 30 amp outlet. I have 14.37 volts carried through my system to the battery control center. I have checked the battery disconnect switch and it is on, however, I only register .6 volts on the positive battery charging cable. The...

Hello everyone, I have a forest river 2022, 22rbs. I also have my 2021 chevy silverado 1500. I noticed that my battery is not charging with the trickle charge from the 7 pin connector. Normally, when i'm driving, the truck will trickle a small charge to the rv to keep the battery somewhat...

I have a 2015 Forrester MBS 2401S and have an issue related to the BIM charging. Quick history: I had discovered a problem with "old style" BIM with separate Trombetta solenoid ( see attached pic ) after I bought my unit used few years ago. CampingWorld determined BIM needing replacing 1st...

Hi. My coach batteries are not charging when I am driving. If a press the emergency switch at the base of the driver's seat, then it charges. So the problem is not the alternator. The batteries also charges when the motorhome is plugged on 120V AC. I suspect a blown fuse or a bad relay but I...

I recently purchased a used 2021 Salem hemisphere 29xbhl. The dealer told us that it was prepped for solar, the type that will just keep the battery charged. He also said that a full charged battery could run the RV fridge for about 3 weeks if it wasn't opened and closed (seems unlikely imo) If...

Just curious and this may be a stupid question, but... On a Sunseeker with Ford E450 V10, will the alternator charge the house batteries while driving? I noticed a second red cable on my starting battery and I don't know where it goes to or what it does. Bill Schneider

The USB charging ports at the back of the sofa failed yesterday. anyone experienced this? It doesn't look like the pop-up can be removed easily. Not a high priority but like Roseanne Roseannadanna said "It's always something. If it's not one thing it's another." Gilda Radner.

Have a 2023 34DS with the factory solar system. Would just like to confirm that only the house batteries are charged by the solar and not the chassis battery. Looking to install a Xantrex echo to charge chassis battery while in outside storage with no plug in electric available. Thanks.

Hey all, New to the group here. This may have been covered before and I apologize if I'm reposting, but I couldn't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. According to the web my F250 is not capable of charging my truck camper through the 7 pin. Truck does not have the camper kit. The...

Hello all. New to the site. The short story is I'm getting divorced and found a personal RV hook-up site (not an easy task). I was trying to be '"economical" and found a 2008 Palomino Puma 30dbss. Decent shape but has some issues. One of the issues is a charging issue. While trying to...

I have a 230ah lifepo4 lithum battery , while being charged on 120v shore power converter it shows 13.5v but when disconnected from shore power it drops to 12.9v with in 10 min. With no draw. Is this normal. ( 2024 Rockwood 2205s Mini Lite)

We've been in the same site for the past several weeks connected to 30A service and everything has been fine until today. Early the inverter shut-off from the low voltage cut-off at 12.3v. I checked the power pole and it has power. There is power to the cord and RV. The Precision Plex and Magnum...

Hi folks We just purchased a 2023 Rockwood 2606WS and I upgraded the battery to a 200aH Li-Time lithium battery. In the manual it states that a special charger may be needed to charge the battery from a generator. The Rockwood has a WFCO converter which I believe is compatible with lithium...

We are the very frustrated owners of a no-bo 19.6, 2022. Problems have been nearly endless. Very poor quality of construction.... For now, charging the battery. I replaced the little battery it came with. I mounted an Renogy, 200ah, agm. It's been working fine. Now, as I type this, I am...

In my 2022, Flagstaff Microlight I have two 6v batteries wired in series. At full charge via the solar cells on the roof the battery monitor will read 13.6v. During our boondocking trips we use minimal lighting and basically only run the fridge on propane. In the morning, the battery monitor...

Hi. On the road. 2018 Forester class C. First night hooked up to shore power. Batteries depleted to 11.5V over night. Drive 3 hours. Then measured with multimeter at 12.6V. I waited an hour to check to allow for surface charge. Hooked up to shore power again. Overnight batteries now down to...

Our motorhome came with 200watts of solar and a Go Power GP-PWM-30-SQ controller. I swapped out the AGM batteries for LiFePo a few years ago but never changed the controller, and the controller has no lithium setting, just GEL, AGM, lead acid and calcium. I was told back then to keep it on the...
