batteries

Hello y’all! New member here and need some help about batteries. I have a 1990 fleetwood tioga montara 24’ motorhome that my parents gave me. It’s in pretty good shape for the most part but recently I’ve noticed the battery for the house aux. has been going down hill fast. It currently only has...

I am replacing my batteries on my 2021 Tiffin Phaeton, and don't know why the house batteries need to have water added and the chassis batteries are sealed. What are the considerations?

1. Other than putting blocks of ice in it. What tips do ya'll have for keeping the reefer cold on a long travel day? 2. My trailer has had a residential fridge installed. Any tips to create fiddles or barriers to stop stuff falling off shelves? I am planning to get something like 3 inch...

Simple question but right now I don't know the answer. If I add a battery and parallel with an existing battery......both with good voltage but maybe different amp hours would this be a problem. It's for a simple tv load and not much more.

Hey Folks. So Since I've been in search of a good battery box made in America and finding literally zero results to the specs I personally require and many other skoolie owners would need, I posted on a solar forum for help. DOCAN is a USA company that does resell some Chinese battery boxes at...

I have a 2022 Winnebago Adventurer 29B. I have two group 31 gel house batteries and the OEM chassis battery. Normally when I am home I plug into a 20amp house outlet. when I do the Winnebago battery charge indication shows full because it is plugged into shore power. However, lately when I check...

HAs anyone tried 48V A/C in their Escape?

#1. Very thick cables i assume running to inverter #2. jumpers between batteries #3. i have no idea what these are yet ( the #3 on far right is connected to the battery box itself with another wire running to it from elsewhere. i assume these are from alternator/generator). The #3 thin...

On the left is our Thor battery schematic for proper set up. Our batteries died unexpectedly and we store on 30 amp, strange. We took a picture and pulled the batteries to charge them. They are all dead and won’t hold a charge, so new batteries incoming. The 2nd picture is my drawing of how...

My RV Safe RVCLOP-2 co/propane detector goes off intermittently a lot.......mostly between midnight and 6 am for some reason but other times too. Shows co lights, not propane. Think it might be done....even though short of the expiration date...manufactured 3/28/2022 and expiration 3/28/2027...

We have 2014 Entegra Aspire and we have 800w of portable solar that we would like to figure out how to use to help charge our house batteries when dry camping - how do you use your portable - do you have a controller and then go directly to your batteries - we have Interstate Lead Acid...

We've only had our Forza for a few months, we had extensive mods done to it for accessibility unrelated to this issue. On our first VERY local overnight trip we hooked up to shore power at the campsite. My Watchdog showed 117V on both legs, all good. Everything was fine for 24 hours till I...

My batteries are dead after storms knocked out power. I have shore power to trailer but batteries are dead. Could this be a fried inverter?

Hi. I've been full-timing for 7 years in my 2019 Mountain Aire. I put it up for sale today. For the first time since the day it left the factory, I will be storing it in an RV storage facility for some weeks - without hookups. I know to turn off the "salesman's switch", and disable the...

Hi there, I suspect this subject has been talked about in detail but I have several questions that I'm hoping will settle my limited knowledge. For some time we've been smelling what we thought was a black tank issue. Now I believe I was wrong and it's my batteries. I'm reading that Rotten Egg...

Hello We are on a road trip and noticed that trailer batteries are not charging from the tow vehicle. Charge from solar fine when sunny. We have two lithium 100 amp batteries We replaced the fuse responsible for tow vehicle circuit under the hood. Checked terminals ok Any ideas much...

At the start of this trip the last thing to be loaded was the refrigerator. This is a Solitude 293 with residential refrigerator. We noticed it was not working, so loaded an ice chest to get on the road and meet scheduled stops. We found that not only the refrigerator was not working, but also...

I recently removed my Battle Born Lithium Ion batteries from the coach to get them serviced at a local Battery shop. They reported that both batteries were well under normal charge, registering 9 and 6 volts respectively. When I picked them up they registered 13.8 each and I was told they were...

Have a '07 Coachmen Mirada and needs new batteries (last replaced in 2010 or 2012). The setup is 2 6V batteries in series. Current batteries are Interstate and the replacements (from the Interstate dealer) are ~ $200 each. Looking at AGMs (a little less, ~$180 each on sale) though a little...

I had to replace the house batteries, i replaced all of them thinking that would fix my generator and it didn’t, my generator does not start or even click when i hit the button i used a multi meter and have no power to starter and dont even have power to the control panel for the generator, i...

Hello all, Recently bought a 2005 Chevy Express Cutaway 3500. Have had amazing luck with no rust, getting the wheelchair guides out with no angle grinding and just smooth sailing. Today I went to tackle the removal of the wheelchair lift and had my first bump in the road. Confirmed that...

2021 33AA. We have 3 hydraulic slides: the bed, the kitchen, and the living room. A few days ago, the bed slide started moving really slow. Thinking it was limited to that slide, we've kept it in until we can have it looked at. However, when setting up at our new site yesterday, we put the...

I have a 2007 Winnebago Sightseer 29R, and I can’t find information to tell me if my house and chassis batteries are being charged when I plug in to shore power? And if they are charging, will they overcharge if I’m plugged in too long? Finally, I have cutoff or night switches on both chassis...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this type of upgrade and would appreciate any guidance from those experienced with similar conversions as well as one specific question regarding my 29J. So I know what I'm looking for in terms of the battery to replace my 2 original lead-acids, and I will also replace...
