batteries

TLDR: Electrical stuff scares me, and I honestly don't know what I'm doing. But as long as I make sure the inverter is off and battery isn't connected, I remove negative connections first, I take tons of photos, move slowly, and make sure to put everything back where I found it, am I okay to try...

Hey everyone, hoping to get some advice from others who’ve dealt with this. I have a 2020 Forest River Cherokee 27bfh with the Everchill WD-282FWDC 12V fridge. It’s not cooling properly — the inside is stuck around 56°F and the freezer won’t freeze things. Here’s what I’ve found so far...

First time towing with my new lifepo4 battery and was wondering about what the state of charge will be after towing all day. If I leave home and the battery is at 100%, will it be 100% when I arrive at my destination or will it be depleted by being hooked to the tow vehicle and towed all day. I...

I want to add a new 100ah Lithium battery to replace my old lead acid battery that is crap. What do I need to do if anything? Do I need to replace my converter with a more Lithium friendly one? I have a 560ah solar system with a 3000W inverter (all Victron hardware), but it is on a separate...

2024 Rockwood 2205s Mini Lite. I have a hardwire Progressive Industries 30-amp EMS with remote display, also have two Litime 100amp LiFeP04 batteries and factory 200-watt solar panel. The camper has a 12-volt refrigerator. My question/ concern is this: when I first hook up trailer to shore power...

Hi Everyone, Looking for a bit of guidance and suggestion. I have a 2024 Forest River Cruise Lite (T263BHXL) - a 32' Travel Trailer (30amp). This unit came equipped with 2-lead acid deep cell batteries (12v) that provide about a combined 160ah of battery storage but only supply 'DC' power to...

Bought my 5er new, 2022 Rockwood 2893BS. It is wired for solar, but what does that mean? Can I just buy panels and plug them in, or do I need more equipment? I really have no idea, I have always plugged in at a campsite and never had to think about it. I'm planning a trip where I may not...

Can't figure this out. Replaced new batteries with lifepro, and. New converter. I have 300 watts of solar and am boondocking at the beach with complete sun. Went to bed with full battery 13.4 volts, woke up(6:30am) to battery with 12.6 volts. Renogy. Battery monitor said it was 65% full...

Hi We just purchased a 2025 26 SRD, it came with 2 200 watts solar panels, a 30 amp Domentic solar controller, a 1800 inverto, a 12 volt refrigerator and a 12v TV. We would like to be able to stay at the most two nights without any shore power somewhere,Harvest Hosts etc. The only things we...

We are changing over to LifePo4 battery for our camper. Does the brand really matter? There are a many less expensive, than say renogy or battle born, on Amazon. How do you choose which one to buy? And does built in Bluetooth work well? Better than a monitor?

Hi all, you have been a bunch of help to date and I’m ready to add more, but not sure what would be best. I have a single 100 ah Bluetooth lifepo4 battery and one portable 160 watt solar panel. I want to run 12v ever chill frig with one maxx air fan at 50% for 4-5 days in northern mi in mid...

we have a 2024 forest river salem view. It came worth the solar on the roof. The fridge is 12v. We are used to propane from our previous campers. We camp along the river from may to Halloween on weekends. There is no hookups there. When here we run a Honda or predator generator so the time. We...

I am boondockinng for the last week and have had no issues with power. Batteries charging and discharging properly. I woke up this morning to no power. (Not good for 12v fridge). Not sure what's going on. I had over 70% battery when I went to bed. I did have a glimpse of power and it read...

Hello pop up campers! We are new to pop up camping and just finished our first great trip to Colorado with our 2023 Forest River Rockwood pop up. We are working on our bucket list to visit all of the National Parks and want to go to Shenendoah NP next year. We would like to camp right in the...

Hello everyone need your advice. I just bought 2018 forrester 2801QS. It's been some time since i've had a driver. I have a camping trip coming up and I did not realize I do not have electricity. I remember my gas will run my hot water heater and my refrigerator freezer. But i'm wondering how...

I recently purchased a 2019 sunseeker motorhome. Wondering how often everyone changes out their coach/ camper batteries? I changed mine due to my power jacks not having enough voltage to retract.

I have a 2022 Cardinal 320RLX 5th wheel trailer. It is in a covered storage with no access to solar power or electricity. Even with the battery disconnect engaged the batteries are often dead when I pick it up to take a trip. I have a 3rd battery that I charge and swap out with one of the dead...

I just want a simple plug and play battery upgrade for my 2018 Rockwood Roo 233S. I don't think it has anything set up for solar. I want a battery that I can charge with my honda generator during generator hours, or perhaps directly hook up a solar panel to it, charge it, and then run fans all...

I have a 2021 coachmen apex nano 184bh..it has a solsr panel on roof, small factiry equipment...how can I tell if the electric capabilities will handle lithium batteries instead of lead acid batteries? Want to replace the 12v deep cycle battery on trailer hitch with lifepo lithium ones....thanks...

You hear of some batteries exploding, has anyone have any feedback on this. I see lots of campers going with lithium batteries, as I will when my wet cell 6vt goes south. I have electric bikes, and they offer a zip up battery cover to protect in case of fire. Thanks

Hi guys! I've been having problems with my 2 house batteries for a little while now. It didn't helped that my last two trips, we were boondocking all along. First problem was I could not start the generator, that was major. The other one, the fridge went into ''check'' mode. So, I had to...

About to close-out on a new DX3 37TS. I have been negotiating with the dealer, and pursuing some questions that I had gathered, all without having seen the motorhome yet and with the understanding that it was a 2025. It has just arrived from the manufacturer at the dealership, and I've been...

In another thread someone mentioned that batteries in parallel should have their own fuse should BMS fail during "catastrophic failure. Also that they should be as close to the batteries themselves as possible. I just finished installing such fuses on my two Battleborn GC-3 batteries. Another...

I have a 2022 RLHS 1910, wanting to upgrade batteries to Lifepo4 300aph. How do I know if I have the correct charger for these batteries? Or is it automatically assumed I need to replace the charger? Or do I even need too?

Just got back from a week trip. We only traveled a couple of hours a day. We have a GE gpv10 12V fridge. When we would arrive the ice cream would be melted. I thought that as you drive the batteries were recharging. I would also think that the 12V fridge would run will we drove. A little...
