I am doing research on how to best upgrade or update my current RV system. My current setup 2 interstate 60 amp hour batteries 10 amp go power controller 2 100 watt solar panels Norcold fridge works only on 12 volt power. I want to get to a point where my fridge stays running all night...

New to me 2021 View. 2 Battle Born Lithium 100amp Batteries. Placed unit in storage 2weeks ago, shut off both inverter disconnect (by door) & house battery switch, thinking this would preserve charge in batteries. Went to retrieve today, chassis battery, ok, turned on both switches, house...

2007 class A DP with a Magnum Energy ME2012 inverter and control panel. According to my control panel my inverter version # is 3.6 (Level 2) and my ME-RC control panel is version # 1.2 I've bought two 12v Lithium batteries and the Batt Type setting on the control panel has no option for anything...

We just got back from our first camping trip with our’19 forest river cedar creek 33IK silver back edition. We had a blast. The next day after getting home, the rv stank like sewer and I thought it was the black water tank. I put 4 gallons of water in the black water tank and some treatment...

I have a Tiffin Phaeton 2016 It has been on shore power. stopped in to check on it and noticed the air conditioners were off and overhead lights were dim. House batteries were at 8.5. I believe I need to replace the house batteries. My question is Can I leave the coach on shore power to keep the...

i've got an o5 Dolphin 5342 into which I am looking at installing Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries. It has a 2000 watt Xantrex Freedom 458 charger/inverter. It also has a Morningstar TriStar 45 solar controller and 460 watts of solar panels. The original MH had a 1000 watt Xantrex, but...

Hi, Might be a stupid question but can anyone tell me if the house batteries are supposed to recharge when my Isata 3 Mercedes engine is running? Thanks, Chris

My 2021 has the factory AGM coach batteries. I’m guessing they’ve been drained a few times at service centers despite my best efforts to prevent. I’ve got 30,000 miles and my batteries won’t run the microwave on inverter more than 1 min. I’ve tried dry camping a few times and my frig and other...

It's looking like it might be time for some new Chassis Batteries. I'm looking recommendations whether good or bad. Quality has a higher priority than price. Almost every time quality is less expensive in the long run.

Has anyone used one of these batteries for their Class A Diesel pusher coach batteries? I am currently using Flooded Lead Acid batteries, and was also wondering if I would need to modify anything for my Engine Alternator or Inverter. I would love to see some discussion. Thanks. LL...

Just made the switch to 2 6v batteries in series in our motorhome instead of two 12 volts in parallel. In theory, I should have more usable power from the 6v since the AH is higher in them, bsomething doesn't seem right. Since I put the batteries in, the RV has been plugged up on a 15 amp plug...

Okay - call me slow or stupid - but how do my 2 house batteries get charged? Is it when I'm hooked up to 50 AMP? Is it when I run my genset? Is it when I'm driving down the road? When I disconnect from shore power and/or shut down the genset the house battery LED's show red. Sorry I just don't...

Hello again. I have a Xantrex 458. I replaced my chassis batteries last week as they were completely shot. It is time to replace the house batteries. I just bought six 6V AGM Duracell ultras to replace the current AGMs. SLIGC6VAGM. According to specs, it is 225AH each. I just need some...

Heart (now Xantrex) tells me that I have to change the battery type in the inverter/charger. My 2000 CC Intrigue does not have a remote for the inverter/charger. All it has is a Inverter on/off switch. Tech help at Xantrex is close to useless on their legacy units. Can anyone tell me what...

I have been researching the Solar pros & cons .. like most of us I have spent many many hours reviewing You Tube videos on this subject .. So I pose this question .. If you are Not interested in Boon docking .. but you are interested in spending nights {as you travel} in an area that running...

I am replacing the original flooded lead acid batteries in my 2022 Coachmen Leprechaun 319MB with LiFePO4 batteries. I will likely eventually replace the OEM charging system from the alternator/chassis battery with an aftermarket dc-to-dc charger that is designed to work with LiFePO4 batteries...

Hello, We have a 2023 Leprechaun 230FS Ford E450 chassis that is not charging the house batteries when the engine is running. After checking terminals I found that there is no juice going to the yellow/black wire on the solenoid in the photo. I jumped the house batteries to fire the generator up...

Just wondering if anyone knows the max voltage the charging system puts out. I'm giving serious thought to switching to LiFePO4 house batteries, and a pair of AGM starter batteries. Of course, if you've made the changeover some real-world experiences would be even better! TIA

My coach has been in the shop for two weeks with issues dead house batteries. The coach was built with one battery September 2023 I had my service center add a second battery. I have 900 watts of solar. The service manager called, and the diagnosis was "Hot Batteries" he said you should see...

I thought I would share our dead battery experience on our 2023 Accolade 37k. Last night we returned to our campsite after 11 hours of sightseeing to “almost dead” chassis and house batteries. Yes, we had shore power. Within 1 hour the CO2 sensor started chirping with red/green lights which...
