charging

We have a 2015 Georgetown 270. My house batteries do not seem to be charging while I am driving. I went to move the motorhome and the chassis battery was dead. Strange because I just drove it Tuesday. Tried the battery boost and nothing. Jumped the motorhome and she started right up but the...

We have just purchased a “new to us” 2017 Forest River ‘Sunseeker’ motorhome with Precision Dynamics BCC converter and Precision Circuits battery manager. Although the BCC converter seems to work flawlessly, the vehicle does not seem to charge the coach/house batteries when the engine is...

I have a 2021 Isata 3FW with the factory installed Lithium upgrade. My question is when charging from the engine alternator does it charge the lithium to 14.5 or to 13.5 which would be standard for the chassis lead acid battery. Not sure how the chassis alternator can charge the chassis...

Curious... 2208T here stored in a garage.. is it best to just leave it plugged into the house power 24x7x365 when not "camping"? Just going out for the first time this season and the battery is 100% drained (clicking sound when trying to raise the trailer enough to get removable tongue back...

Last fall, I connected our 2015 Roo 21SS to shore power in a Mi State Park. When I entered the trailer, I noticed that the lights on the TV & MW, my 'tell tales' for properly connected shore power, weren't on. I checked the converter panel and saw that a breaker had tripped. I disconnected the...

Hi all, Posted this in the wrong forum earlier. I have a 2016 ss-1251 truck camper. The outside 'charge station' posts dont seem to be connected to anything anymore. I am sure last year I could connect my battery charger to it and charge the battery. I seem to think if the old batt was low and...

Hey Campers, I will be doing some boondocks this summer. Our 100w solar will not keep up with our battery demands so I bought an 1800w inverter generator. I am looking for the fastest and most efficient way to recharge the battery. Am I best to plug the trailer into the generator or I have...

I was doing some testing on the battery system on my rig which is a Europa 31SS, I have replaced the batteries with LifePO and re-programmed appropriately. We're having one issue that I'm working with the battery manufacturer on now, which is a BMS issue. But now I've hit another problem. I...

I have a 2018 Dynamax Force HD and it seems my house batteries don't charge when the engine runs. I have heard about aBIRD solenoid that is likely the problem. Where is it and how do I test it?

I have a Geo Pro 15TB with the 100W solar panel. I accidentally left the water tank heater on because it was cold. This killed the batteries I believe, but its been out in the sun for 2 days and there's still zero charge in the batteries. The panel won't even come on. Is the batter that dead or...

Been charging my two Paralleled 12 volt batteries with same 3 stage trickle charger over winter for years. I top them off with water in the fall hook to my charger. In spring all cells are usually low in both batteries and I top them off again. Last year I bought 2 new Interstate batteries...

I have a 2016 Leprechaun Class C and a 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk that I recently bought used and set up as a TOAD. I Installed blue-ox base plates and I am using blue ox tow bars. Those are all working great. I also am using a blue ox patriot brake system that plugs into the 12V car plug. I...

I'm trying to find out if it'll support LiFePO4 batteries, as I hear those are the way to go. :) thanks!

This summer I'm gonna be at a festival that has a really good river running beside where I'm gonna be parking my trailer. Wanted to know from some of you who are more versed in solar and the corresponding equipment and controllers if putting a water based generator tied onto the solar...

New fiver has 400w of solar on roof; 30 amp mppt controller; 2000w inverter with transfer switch AND a zamp plugin for using a portable kit. I have 206AH of LiFePo4. Is the zamp plug wired directly to the batteries? If so, a portable kit would need it's own solar controller. If no, it is wired...

I have a 2022 Flagstaff MicroLite 21FBRS. It came with 190 Watt rooftop solar panels. My question is - Do I need to do anything/add something to make them work? Or will they charge my batteries automatically? Also, there is an outside port to add portable solar panels. Same question - is there...

I added the missing relay in the fuse box for my 2007 Ford F150 to be able to charge the camper batteries while traveling. (2020 GeoPro 19FD) I had already removed the original cheap 12V "deep cycle" battery and installed 2-6V Duracell "Golf Cart" true deep cycle units in series to go along...

We are less than a week into our 2023 Isata 5 30FW Explorer. Loving the learning curve on all the systems but stumped on this problem. The house batteries are not charging on shore power. They charge from the alternators but the state of charge steadily declines as we sit plugged in. The...

Has anyone put their battery on a charger / maintainer while they camped ? We have been at a campsite since November and our gel cell battery , as of this morning , reads 12.2v . I'd like to bring it back up to full charge . My concern is my slides are out and my jacks are down. When we were at...

We have a 2022 Dynamax Isata 3 with the Lithium battery option (2 ReLion 100 AH batteries, RB100-LT). In early October, I picked up our RV, brought it home, leveled it in driveway, connected shore power. In the afternoon, I disconnected power, parked the unit down at our clubhouse overnight...

Has anyone installed a DC to DC charger, e.g. Victron, in parallel with the emergency start button (on the e450 dash)? I asked Victron Sales -- they said can't do it, but then I asked if you could turn off the DC to DC unit before using the emergency start button -- they said don't bother us...

Hi all, Happy New Year!! We have an Isata 3 FW (2017), which has 2 batteries in parallel. During our current trip, wife noticed step where batteries rest was hot, upon opening step, noticed both batteries were hot to touch, and would occasionally ooze out (bubbling). Some history: Our unit sits...
