Results for "golf cart batteries"

Standing in my 2016 Itasca Navion 24G, I discovered the previous owner left me with a completely shot Norcold N3150 refrigerator. The fridge is struggling big time in hot weather, with temperature swings up to 50-60F, and I'm tired of playing refrigerator roulette every trip. I'm running 200W of solar and 2 Golf Cart 6V batteries, and I do a lot of driving through Southern California deserts where temperatures hit 110F.

Been doing some research and keep seeing two main options - the NovaKool RFU6406D with dual compressors, or sticking with absorption and going with something like the Norcold N2175. I'm particularly interested in a setup that'll keep things cold when it's scorching outside and provide reliable cooling performance.

What's the real-world difference between these two approaches, and which one's gonna give me better performance in those extreme desert heat situations? …more

Walked out to check my four 6-volt Interstate golf cart batteries in my 2015 Tiffin Allegro Open Road 32SA and there's dramatically different water loss happening across them after just 6 months. Visual inspection reveals continuous bubbling activity in three of the four cells in these problematic batteries, while the fourth cell and all cells in the other two batteries appear normal.

The RV remains connected to shore power continuously, maintaining constant charging conditions. Battery testing indicates all batteries are within acceptable parameters and would not qualify for warranty replacement. What diagnostic steps should I perform to identify whether this is a connection issue, internal battery failure, or charging system problem? Specifically, what voltage and specific gravity measurements would indicate internal resistance problems that could cause this differential water consumption pattern? …more

During my third inverter failure in two years on my 2005 32' Southwind, I'm officially done with this inverter roulette game. Time for an upgrade!

I've got 400W of solar (4x100W panels) and 4 6-volt batteries powering this rolling money pit. Currently rocking a 1000W unit that keeps throwing error codes like it's having an existential crisis. I'm torn between going with a 2000W or 2500W pure sine wave inverter - brands like Aims Power and Renogy keep popping up in my research.

Will my current battery bank handle a 2500W unit, or should I stick with 2000W? I'd rather not discover the hard way that I've created an expensive paperweight. Any recommendations before I throw more money at this beautiful disaster? …more

After three years with my 2003 Fleetwood Terra, these dual 6V golf cart batteries only die when it's above 85°F outside — perfect charge retention in cooler weather. I've been reading about LiFePO4 lithium batteries and wondering if I should make the switch. We're not full-timers - probably use the RV maybe 6-8 times per year for weekend trips and the occasional week-long vacation.

I keep hearing about the benefits of lithium, but I'm honestly not sure if it makes sense for our situation. My current lead acid batteries seem to need replacing every couple years, which is getting expensive. But I'm also worried about compatibility issues with my older Terra's charging system. Would really appreciate some guidance on whether this upgrade is worth it for someone with my usage pattern and RV age! …more
