The RC7-GS inverter charger can properly charge 105Ah AGM batteries using the 125Ah setting, as AGM charging is voltage-based, not capacity-dependent. Generator start issues typically stem from wiring problems or incorrect DIP switch configurations.
Master your RV electrical system from house batteries to shore power. Covers 12V DC, 120V AC, inverters, and charging.
Troubleshoot house batteries dying while on 50 amp shore power. Diagnose converter, breakers, and connections to restore proper charging.
An E1 error on your MPPT solar controller typically indicates a battery over-voltage condition or wiring fault. This comprehensive guide shows you how to diagnose and fix the issue safely, including when professional help is needed.
Removing grill improves F53 battery access significantly. Use floor jack with wood block to lift 45lb battery to tray height, or get a helper. Battery carrier strap helps. Consider battery slide tray for future ease.
Even with disconnect switches engaged, phantom loads and battery self-discharge can drain RV batteries during storage. Installing battery maintainers, using master disconnect switches, and addressing phantom loads will solve this issue.
Yes, high-output alternators can be installed on your F53/Triton V10, but you'll need to upgrade wiring and possibly the serpentine belt system. The Tucson unit you found is a solid choice for your large inverter battery bank needs.
Low amp charging from solar panels is typically caused by loose connections, incorrect controller settings, or battery issues rather than a bad controller. Start by checking all wiring connections and battery voltage before replacing the charge controller.
For Cummins 6.7 ISB, use AGM Group 31 batteries with 900+ CCA. Duracell (East Penn) and NAPA Legend are both excellent choices with good warranty. Replace both batteries together. AGM handles diesel starting demands better than flooded.
Triple E built quality coaches in Canada. At 24 years old, focus on this specific units condition rather than brand reputation. Critical inspection points: water damage, engine hours, service history, roof seals. Get professional NRVIA inspection before buying.
Given your positive experience with AGWS ($6,913 in claims vs $10,700 premium) and age considerations, I'd recommend comparing renewal quotes from AGWS, Good Sam, and Warrantech while seriously considering self-insurance given your disciplined maintenance approach.
For three 400W panels (1200W total), you'll need an 80-100 amp MPPT controller. Calculate by dividing total wattage by battery voltage, then add 25% safety margin.
The Magnum MS 2812 is only a 30A charger, not 50A, despite being a quality unit. For true 50A charging, consider the Progressive Dynamics PD9260C or Aims 3000W units under $1000, or bite the bullet on a higher-end Victron or Magnum 50A model.
Boiling battery with sulfur smell means severe overcharging or internal short. Disconnect immediately - hydrogen gas is explosive. Battery must be replaced. Check converter/charger output voltage before installing new battery to prevent recurrence.
Sawtooth patterns in Victron MPPT readings are often normal during float charging. The controller pulses current to maintain voltage. Check if battery is charging properly - if so, patterns are normal.
