I wonder if your Group 24 Napa batteries were the same as those that came on our 2018 Fuse. Were those maintenance-free? Or did they have caps on the top?

Whose Lithium battery did you install?...

Most of the 115AH AGM batteries I have seen run around $325 each, some name brands like Lifeline quite a bit more. Not knowing anything about battery construction or design I am lost in all of the...

It is all coming very quickly and sometimes I make an assumption that is incorrect. I thought that what the BB sales guy pointed me to was the same as the DC-to-DC charger but I see that there are 2...

Yes. I assume I was looking at the wrong batteries. I am not (yet) a member of Sam's Club since there is not one near where I live, but have been going to Costco.

I will take another look at the...

I agree with you concerning the need for more power to supply a larger battery pack. We currently have 300 watts of solar and that is enough to charge our 2 65AH batteries to full in the summer...

I have looked at BB, Dakota and Relion. As far as I can find out the first 2 are made in the US and the last somewhere in Asia, perhaps China.

As far as I can tell I could fit 2 type 31 batteries...

I have found out about a DC-to-DC charger, but what is a BIM? A battery isolator? And what is the difference between the DC-DC charger and the BIM (whatever that is)?

The best I can tell from the Sam's Club website is that the AGM batteries you are talking about are rated at 62AH. Since the AGMs I currently have are rated at 65AH and they are not enough I don't...

The diesel is too noisy. If I run it it will disturb the neighbors, and all Ford says in their docs is that the diesel should not be idled "excessively" although there is no definition of what...

Where did you get the Fullriver AGM batteries?

One of the issues I will have this Summer (assuming that things are back to some semblance of normal) is that we spend 2 days at a hot mineral water...

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the "stock converter" you refer to? Is that just part of the standard OEM alternator connection to the house batteries? Or is it something else.

And are...

Ah. I see the confusion.

The battery compartment in the Fuse stores the batteries with the side usually designated as width being the depth. That is, the battery narrow side faces forward so the...

My mistake. Thank you for pointing that out. I guess I thought Coach batteries were House batteries. I will have to remember to be more careful when shopping for replacement batteries.

The storage area is exactly large enough to hold 2 Type 24 OEM batteries with just about no room to spare. In fact the batteries that came with the Fuse were so tall that there was no room to get to...

I thought that 50% was the lowest you were supposed to draw down batteries and if they were lower they might be damaged and lose their ability to recharge. Is that wrong?



We dry camp a lot,...

Most of the shops around where I live want to replace the Fuse's OEM batteries with Interstate 34M AGMs and they are $300+ dollars for 62AH rated batteries. The Fullriver AGMS are supposed to bar...

I need to first say that I have no actual knowledge about this so anything I write is based on information I have read somewhere. That information may be wrong.

Fullriver batteries

We have 300 watts of flexible solar panels on our roof which seem to be working well but our current batteries (Type 24) are pretty low in the morning (about 12.1 or 12.2 volts) and sometimes don't...
