battery charging

I have a Jayco Greyhawk that is not being used this season. I want to install a solar battery tender. If I connect it to the engine battery, will it also trickle to the RV batteries? Or do I need a separate one for the house batteries, as well?

Ok I am not dumb by any means and now have had to replace our battery 2 times just to have lights and now heat. how does the battery charge? I have messed with the fuses, the fuse going to the battery is good and we are hooked into shore power. it went out last night and I had to use 2 electric...

I have 2019 precept prestige. My batteries charge when engine is running but are they supposed to charge when in shore power. Mine is NOT. I have a 4 battery bank if 6 volt batteries.

I purchased the 2023 Thor Rize 18A back in march so everything is under warranty, but service turnover is horrible here in san diego. My issue is that my 2x100ah agm house batteries are no longer being charged by my generator. The generator no longer automatically enables the 110v inverter so...

Help please. My 12v lights won't operate when plugged into mains. And the battery doesn't seem to be charging either. Any ideas? Could it be a fuse or fault in the 12V DC Distribution Panel?

This weekend, after a long hiatus we took our travel trailer out for a short trip. Connected to shore power at the campground and late in the second day came back to our rig with a big puddle under the battery, steam venting, and nasty hydrogen sulfide smells. Clearly the battery is overcharged...

When you want to connect an external charger to your batteries and you have two of them in parallel, do you connect both the black and red to the neg and pos of the first battery or should you connect the red+ to the first battery and the black- to the second battery? Sorry, realized this...

Have a 2007 Thor majestic motorhome class c. Can anyone tell me where inverter is? I am trying to reset it. I don’t see a switch under the bed near electric panel. My house battery is completely drained and will not charge from shore power or running the chassis and it’s a fairly new battery...

We just took our first long trip in our 2018 Roadtrek Zion SRT and are experiencing a new issue. We have the batteries on and the inverter off to power the fridge and keep our food cold. After a few hours of highway driving the voltage meter goes dark and it stops powering the 12V appliances...

Hi all! I'm new to the forum, so apologies if this or something similar has already been covered elsewhere. I have a 2011 MB 2500 Sportsmobile that I bought last fall. The battery was ~3 years old at that point, but has worked well since then. (The inverter has always drawn it down very...

Hello I just replace House (Cabin) Battery (FullRiver DC210-12). Is there a way I can fully charge this new battery without having to drive? I thought that plugging the van's appliance socket into my home 110 would do the trick. However, nothing. Recommendations?

Good afternoon everyone. I am looking for some guidance with what Is the best option for maintaining charge on my 2 12v batteries. I have plenty of friends who take there batteries out and have them trickle charge between trips. Others, who charge them via solar without ever having to remove...

Hi all, I've got a 2008 RoadTrek 210 Popular that I've owned since Sept. 2 months ago I set out on a road trip. I've had repeated electrical issues and I'm at a loss at this point. First, it was a loose connection on TrippLite. Tech fixed that. Then it was bad batteries and another loose...

2 ?s if anyone can help 1. When would I use the Inverter switch 2. Does the main power switch need to be on if I’m plugged into shore power at my house in my attempt keep my battery charging Thanks in advance Nurse John

Preface: This is my first motorhome, and I've had it for 3 weeks. 2022 Entegra Accolade. Last week someone (me) accidentally left the main power switch on over night and all the batteries died. Chassis started fine, generator would not. So I jumped the generator and got it going, got all the...

We are newbie Sportsmobile owners and are trying to better understand the lights on the Inverter panel - the Load and Battery Voltage indicators. When plugged in we were told by the previous owner to always turn the inverter OFF. So, we do that when plugged in. Usually, when plugged into...

Im wondering if i leave the house connection to the trailer does it charges the battery as well? New owner of 2015 Jayco feather Ultra lite SLX

My lady and I just ordered a '21 X213 and I'm planning to upgrade the battery to a LiFePo4 before the camping season starts. We are going to be almost exclusively boondocking in the mountains and I have been directed to ensure she never goes cold....(uh huh). Question is: Do the converters...

Hi All!! 2016 Travato 59k diesel. I took out my house batteries to test them as they were draining quicker than normal when boondocking. The batteries have tested fine at 1hr 12hrs and 24hrs so I put them back in. Here is my problem I put them back in I believe the way they came out with all...

Hola! Does anyone have a way that they charge their house battery without shore power/alternator/inverter/solar/etc... My van has been sitting and when I plug it into shore power the Xantrex fires up and gives me the lights that it is charging the house battery. After 15 minutes or so it...

Hey gang, I brought AGM batteries for my new 21C, and Escape left the dual flooded plate batteries in there. So now I have four 6v batteries - 2 AGM 6v 225 ah and the two from Escape. From what I can tell, putting all four batteries (two AGM, two flooded) in Series/Parallel is a bad idea. Is...

My coach alternator has quit charging the coach batteries first thing in the morning after stopping overnight. I admittedly have previously abused my coach batteries due to ignorance, but I have gotten by with them until now. They will take a charge from shore power or the genset, but not from...

I replaced my converter and installed a new 12 V fuse block. Everything that was working (bath fan seems to be toast) before is still working. I left the converter plugged in overnight to check the three-stage charging and didn't think to check voltage at the battery till this morning. It...

We had our SMB pre-wired for solar and we have a 100 watt suitcase panel and a 200 AH AGM battery. As I read the display in this photo, the battery is above 85% charge and in the absorption charge phase. I'm confused by the status bar, which shows only 1 solid bar and 3 flashing. That indicates...

I have four six-volt batteries in my 2017 Thor Outlaw 37RB. It seems the batteries take a better charge and last longer when charged with alternator vs generator. Am I crazy?
