Interesting.

It has been impossible for me to know with any certainty what our compressor fridge uses overnight since we also ran the DVD player and the TV and since I did not have a battery...

Perhaps it depends upon the DC-DC charger manufacturer and how they rate their device. For Renogy the rating of 40 amps means that it outputs 40 amps, not that the alternator supplies 40 amps. If the...

Hmm. Why did you use an AGM profile for Lithium batteries? Does your charger not have a Lithium profile?



Yes. That is why I am having a DC-DC charger installed between the alternator and the...

Similar, but not quite the same. Your Via is MB chassis while our Fuse is Ford, so it is a different alternator. Probably not very different, but not exactly the same either.



I was concerned...

I guess I don't see how that applies since (1) I am talking about charging Lithium house batteries in an RV, not van AGM batteries and (2) the RV is on a Ford chassis, not a MB chassis.

I am just...

Yes, but that is the solar charger. I was asking about the generator/shorepower charger and that is a completely different set of electronics.

Thank you both for your posts, but it still leaves my question about the difference between a BIM and a DC-DC charger. As far as I can tell from the descriptions on the BB webpage they do different...

The compressor refrigerator seems to take enough power out of our batteries overnight to reduce us to 50% if we are not hooked to shore power. That is the reason that I am looking for a larger pool...

Thank you. That is exactly what I was hoping to find out - a simple way to compare the battery ratings so that I know I am comparing apples to apples.

I know little about AGM batteries other than what I have learned on this and other RV forums, but I assumed Lifeline was one of the better deep cycle RV house batteries. it certainly is one of the...

Perhaps, but I am not sure how I go about finding out what batteries are right for the list. One of the issues I have had is knowing what batteries are truly RV batteries and what batteries are not,...

The AGM batteries I have been looking at all have an AH rating, but the specs for this battery are the first that I have seen that lists AH based on how the battery is used:

1 amp hour rate:68.2...

I am just not handy with tools and I don't have the expertise to know how to go about doing something like installing a DC-DC charger. I am pretty sure that if I spent the time studying I could...

I don't understand.

As far as I know there are 4 sources of power for the house batteries - the alternator, solar panels, the generator and shore power. I suspect that the last 2 are really the...
