battery

I have a 2017 Residence 40MKTS and it came with a lead acid battery on the tongue, and a converter. I have no plans of moving the RV, it's situated on my vacant land and "shore power" is connected to a 5kw solar array with 15kw of solar battery storage, fully off grid. Can I just bypass that...

New batteries installed. Checked batteries with multimeter and both at 12.5V. Power turned on in camper for less than a minute, then powered off. No power to camper at all now. Any suggestions?

I added a Renogy system with two 100w panels, 40amp mppt controller with display, 15amp breaker/disconnect at the panels and a 200a power queen battery. First trip was a three night stay. Running everything we needed the battery was at 91% at bed time. My wife likes to sleep with the TV on and...

Two new batteries connected in parallel in my 2022 Forest River Sabre Cobalt 37FLL. The battery disconnect "on" but no power. Where is the battery reset in this 5th wheel? Is there one? Please provide a picture of where reset is, thanks!

Hi All.. As indicated in the subject line I have a 2025 Forest River RV Rockwood Signature R361RLS. Does anyone know what the particulars of the converter are? Specifically, brand, model and technical info? I am looking to change out my flooded lead acid house batteries for a couple of...

My battery/solar setup has been working flawlessly since 2024 and was powered down during this past winter until a month ago. With my setup (listed below), I no longer need to plug into shore power to charge my system. Today I found the batteries dead -- no power at all in my system. I checked...

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...

I am a noob when it comes to travel trailers. I need to know how to hook up a battery and check the fuses in order to get the driving lights working, I think. Any advice is appreciated. I know the battery goes on the trailer tongue, but the only wire I can find is the one that connects to my...

I have a question for you guys. My bus has some sort of parasitic draw because my battery will drain if I leave it for more than a day or two, so I’ve had to disconnect the negative cable every time I park it so the battery won’t die, but I have no idea where this draw could be coming from. What...

Hey all, I cannot find a battery charger on my 2016 Seismic Wave. I have two nice, big lithium batteries to install and I want to see if the charger can handle them. I have looked all over and behind every access panel that I could find and no charger. I know it's there somewhere. A little help...

We purchased a Forest River Riverstone last year new (2024) and last night we were watching TV in bed when the TV went out. We checked the normal things you would check when your TV dies, power cord etc... and decided we would look at this again in the morning. When we got up this morning we...

Hi All, I'm picking up the new 25DBH on Tuesday. It will come with dual Lead Acid batteries and 400W of Solar. I will change to LiPO4. Does anyone know what will fit in the standard dual battery tray? I'm hoping to squeeze 200AH of new battery in there. I'll start researching what...

Hello Friends, Hope everyone is doing great! It's been a while since I have posted...been spending lots of time in the mountains until recently. I have hit the 5 year mark with our Rockwood MiniLite 2509S and fortunately we have only had "minor" issues, but all of the issues we have had, has...

Looking at repalcing my 2 plastic battery boxes for 1 metal box to attach to the front frame. the batteries are 7" wide x 12.5" long x 8.5" tall (LITIME 12V 100AH battery) looked on amazon and the boxes are angled in front. 36" in rear and 15" in front, does anyone have something similar, and...

I bought a new battery to replace the 2 batteries that came with my new-to-me pop-up. I mistakenly forgot to take a photo of the wiring before disconnecting the dual batteries. I'm now looking at 4 wires, 3 with larger aperture rings and 1 with a smaller one. Unfortunately, the battery I bought...

Hi, I am a newbie and trying to understand the inverter. Do I need to manually turn the inverter off when I am storing the camper and manually turn it on when in use? I have a 2020 Flagstaff SE pop up, outdoor enthusiast. Thank you.

I have a 2018 Coachman Mirada 32ss when in storage and the disconnect is turned to off. I also turn all the house breakers off. The house batteries still drain. No clue what would be draining the batteries. Any suggestions?

At 68, I just bought my first pup. 2004 Rockwood Freedom (2280) somewhere along the line the battery was pulled. I guess they only went to a plug-in park. All I see is a black wire where the (no longer there) battery box would of been. I am not going to use a bunch of power, I have a power...

I installed thin flexible panels to my roof that required no peneration of the roof membrane or luan substrate. Three CIGS panels, 200w each that are secured by thin double-sided butyl tape. I also chose to tape edges with some eternabond like tape from Beech Lane to both keep water from...

On my 2025 Forester 3011, I have a green fuse connected to my House batteries (Li) and a matching one on the Chassis battery (AGM). Both are getting hot. My little display screen tells me my chassis battery is charging the house batteries, and it is drawing 24 amps. Has anyone else seen this?

Hello. My question is about whether our A-frame hardside requires a controller to plug in a portable solar panel system. There is a sticker declaring that the trailer is "Solar Ready. Pre-wired for solar”. There is a input port to the right of the door with label. I have attached a couple osome...

Hi all, I just got a used 2017 Sprinter 33BH. I noticed the battery wasn't charging so I did some investigating and I'm slightly puzzled. At the battery are two reset breakers. The wire circled in red connected to the positive post appears to be the charging wire coming from the converter (I...

My larger systems (slide out, awning) work perfectly fine on shore power, but are completely dead on battery power. When I try to operate these systems without shore power the lights just dim/flicker and nothing works. All fuses appear intact, i replaced the shortstop breaker on the chassis...
