battery

When everything is turned off of my 2020 GD Reflection 337RLS, I get a power draw of 6 Watts or approx. 12Ah per day(Even with the battery switch turned off) I've played around and tried to isolate where that is coming from and there isn't much I can do to eliminate that draw. It seems to be...

I have searched and read posts in the forum for the last half hour or so (grabbed lots of good notes for other things!) but didn't see this addressed. Probably because it's too simple of a topic. I pulled both batteries out of our brand new 2022 260RD to bring them home so I could charge them...

tldr: Can I run a pair of 6v golf cart batteries without a battery box strapped right to the rails? Long version: My existing 12v deep cycle interstate battery has been failing so I decided it was time to replace them. After much debate, I decided on a pair of 6v golf cart batteries and a...

I have a question about the fridge in my new trailer. After fully charging the battery, should the fridge run on battery power alone? It is beeping and flashing no AC but I thought the battery should run it for a while at least...also, if I switch to propane operation it also gives an error...

Does anyone have thoughts or experience using a battery-booster as back-up power instead of using or to supplement solar (good or bad)? We are planning to do a little of-the-grid camping, 1 or 2 nights at a time (boondocking or non-power sites) while travelling. In the past our battery has...

Hey Community, I have questions about how I can utilize the tools I have to power my FWC Finch setup. I think this is a pretty cool way to keep power that requires little electrical knowledge - of which I have zero. Looking forward to some input from the veterans here. Tools: 21' Tacoma w/...

Wanted to get some input on batteries. We are thinking of either adding another battery or replacing the one we have with one that is double the RC and about 1/4 more AH and weighs less. We do quite a bit of dry camping and feel the one battery may not be enough. Will be using some solar to...
