I learned a little trick from someone who maintains a huge fleet of golf carts at a major entertainment studio- a tank sprayer! I ordered a one gallon tank sprayer from Amazon. I enlarged the hole on the spray tip to ensure a trickle comes out and not a spray. This works great for filling batteries that are hard to reach. Mine are under the entry steps, so I would have to remove the batteries to fill them. This little tip saves me a lot of time and hassle.
I have 4 gulf cart batts,n they are at a hard spot-check for water level.I use a small mirror n a small flashlight-check water level.Then i use a devise that checks antifreeze streanth n i sipfhn the distilled water n transport-battery.
Good video guys, My coach came with 4 6-volt Trojan T-105 225 amp hr batteries. I use a clear condiment bottle to add water, it's very precise, also I spray the battery terminals with CRC battery terminal protector. Work great.
I’m getting ready to upgrade to Battleborn....I recently bought our current coach and it has 4 lead acid and I maintain them the old fashioned way like you. Please keep in mind that you will only need 2 lithium batteries to replace your 4 lead acid ones and have the same available amp hours. Loved seeing the deer 😊
Hi Marsha. Thanks for sharing that information. We would more than likely want to increase our amp hours when we upgrade. Would probably keep the same 4 battery setup just lithium and double our amp hours. Thanks for watching and the comment.
My trailer uses one wet cell battery. It will probably be upgraded to at least AGM (maybe 2 AGM or lithium) when this one goes bad. My trailer stays in a covered storage unit a few miles down the road because the hail and heat are too much to keep it in my driveway. I bring the battery home with me after a trip so that I can easily check it and charge it up as needed. I bought a water dispenser thingy made specifically for batteries. It lets me add water one-handed while I hold a flashlight in the other hand to make sure I am not overfilling. A turkey baster would probably work even better.
Once again a great video, very informative. To help with keeping down the corrosion, I would like to suggest No-Ox grease, really helps out. You two do a great job, look forward to you next video.
Clean your connections and wipe down with distilled water. Warm your no ox up to about 160f. Hot dip your flexible connection parts. For the stationary parts, paint on the no-ox. Torque to manf specs. Remember to use insulated tools, gloves, and eye protection.
We have 4 of the same battery you got. We are switching them out next month for our solar and lithium setup. We can't wait. I agree on the once a month. That is what I do as well. They say every 6 months but it is quick and easy to do so why not just check them. Great information y'all. I bought 3 Battle Borns so far, but will be adding 3 more very soon. Can't wait. Hope y'all are well.
Hey William 6 battle borne will be awesome. We want the lithium so we have 0 maintenance as well as a much larger Amp hour bank and usable amp hours. Look forward to seeing your setup. Izzy
Good info! We have a 18 Tiffin Open Road. Our wet cell Duracell 6 Volts...two of them went bad 😡. Going back and forth with 4 new wet cells or 4 new AGM batteries. Thought we were maintaining our wet cells correctly...apparently not. Thanks again for the video...stay safe.
I also spray my terminals and cable ends with CRC battery terminal protector spray. Which helps keep corrosion down to a minimum. It only costs about $5.00. You can use a cheaper product like Permatex 80370 for about $3.00 but I like the CRC better. Also folks should be very careful with the wrench or ratchet used so that the end opposite of what you are using does not come in contact with the other terminal post. This will cause a nice spark and shock especially with lithium batteries.
Wet cell Interstate. The battery box are hard to get into, but only owned since end of June. Yes Battle born is next step, but think need to get some usage out of the new batteries. Battle born is great about asking questions to get you the right setup. Just email them. But just south of a grand make them a big one-time expense (but need to calculate that cost over 9-10 years to get true value for your $$$
100% agree. I’m hoping they come down in price a bit they would be our choice when replacement is needed. They are warrantied for 10 years but will likely last far longer. What will be affected is how much charge they can hold, but it will still be far better than the interstate. Thanks for watching and the comment. Izzy
Yeah Izzy, I was told today at our service center not to keep plugged in to shore power all the time and instead put on a trickle charger. What are your feelings on this way of doing things ?
I was hoping you would mention how to maintain the batteries with a battery charger conditioner and maintainer !! I`m in the market for one but don`t know where to start.
Izzy, it’s crazy to me that MH mfg are still using wet cell batteries because the reality is no one want to add water and that includes myself 😊 Our MH is a year old and I will be putting in some AGM maintenance free batteries this fall. As to your lithium battery question I would not spend the money not worth it and by the time you buy the Showhauler they will be standard equipment. When your current batteries die I would just move to AGM’s.
Hi Brett I agree the batteries should be better out of the factory. It comes down to price. We do plan on getting the lithium as they last a long time, have far more usable amp hours than other batteries and will go into our next rig. Showhauler outfits their motorhomes however you wish and want to pay for lol, but yes most are coming with lithium now. Thanks for watching and the comment.
Hi Guys, enjoying the education on motor homes. Question is...: I recently purchased an older one. 2000 Dutch Star / Nemar. Seems to drain out in a couple days. Possible hidden drain? maybe. I have a generator with start up boost also, doesn't work. I have had an "RV service" check it out. Not impressed. Any Ideas before I go some where else? Thanks.
My understanding is that when you switch to Lithium you have to be careful to change settings so that the LItium Battery Charging will be compatible with the Alternator charging. I also have seen the because of the incredible cost of Lithium batteries, AGM Batteries can offer better cost/value Ratio's.
Izzy I have a 16 tiffin I have a main battery disconnect. Should I add another disconnect at the batteries ? My Tiffin is stored not plugged in, when I store it I turn off the inverter and the main at the front door. Should I add another battery disconnect right at the battery’s?
Can’t comment on your setup. We added a whole house cut off. So once there switch is turned to off there is 0 battery power going to the coach. No parasitic drain
@@EndlessRVing I have the normal cut off at the door that is supposed to be the main. I’m sure Newmar dose the same thing so you added your own separate cur off switch?
@@EndlessRVing Forgot, be sure and use a "Luer lock" syringe. The needle screws on and off on those, much faster and safer than having a needle on the end.
Good video. Thanks I do wonder why you wanted to separate the batteries? Wouldn't it be easier to just disconnect the positive lead from the bank to the chassis?
We just purchased a 2021 version of the same rig that you have but have not taken possession yet. These tech talks are very informative. I have a coupe of questions. First, you mention that as you go down the road that the generator is working. Is this necessary? Doesn't the alternator from the engine charge the batteries? Secondly, I am concerned about having sufficient battery power to run the refrigerator during times while the generator is off and you are not plugged in (e.g. during quiet times at night). Do you have any issues with this? Is this why you want to increase your amperage with lithium batteries?
Hi Randy thanks for watching our videos. So to answer your questions. Yes the alternator will charge the batteries when the engine is running. We run the generator for 2 reasons 1. You should be running your generator regularly. They are made to run and not using them is when you will run into issues when you need to use them. 2. In the summer when it’s hot we run the generator so we can run the roof A/C units. It is not possible to keep coach cool just with chassis air. To answer you battery question. The lead acid batteries are not great. We have stayed overnight at rest stops. We will run generator until right before we go to sleep. By morning the batteries are down to 12.1 - 12.2 volts. Not great. Lithium will give you way more usable amp hours and they charge much faster. For us it’s not a huge issue as we are almost always plugged in even when not in use. With that said when we replace our batteries it will likely be with lithium. Izzy
Hey Izzy, do you guys have 4 - 6 volt batteries or 4 -12 volt batteries? Sorry if this is a newbie question. It's ALL new to me since we just purchased our USED RV recently. We have 4 - 6 volts hooked together. I just was trying to see what would be the better option. Thank you for the video. GREAT JOB, once again! -Todd
Great video !! I’ve had to replace two of our Interstate batteries. They weren’t maintained by the dealership, maybe previous owner as well, had one blow up and the other had a cell the was solid. I bought the fancy watering system so that I can make sure I have the right amount of water in them. I’d also like some battle born just for the no worry part. But can’t justify the extra expense, we don’t boondock.. Would you have to add anything to the system to switch over? Will it charge the same?
Hey Tom...it depends on your current converter/charger. Some have a switch that makes them charge at 14.4 which is what the lithium’s need, others, like mine, have an add on that I can buy for around $15 that I can use to manually make my PD9270 boost charge up to the required 14.4 that the Battleborn’s need to be fully charged. They say I would only need to fully charge them a couple of times a month. My current charger and most lead acid charges only charge at around 13.6 I believe they told me. I spoke directly with Battleborn. We don’t Boondock that much either but I’m still getting 2 Battleborn’s to replace my 4 lead acid because my rigs previous Owner did not maintain them properly and they are ready to go and I’m ready to be done with worrying about batteries! I hope this helped!
Hey Tom. The dealers are the worst. I have made phone calls to Intellipower which is the charger on board. Marsha is correct all I did was add the “pendant” which allows me to charge at 14.4 volts which is fine for lithium. I believe 14.8 is optimal but 14.4 should get us to about 90% charge. Marsha would know better she actually has the lithium batteries. Izzy
Hi it seem every time we put our rv at storage I make sure I turn off and switch battery disconnects but 2 weeks later I check rv and all battery are died any help I have newmar gas thanks
Hi Izzy , MJ…I wanted to ask you why you went with a gas MH instead of diesel since diesel can go a million miles and gas might make it to 300,000 miles, Big Might 😬, was it just about the price ??
Gas fit us best for our use and far easier to maintain. Don’t be fooled about the million mile claim. You would be hard pressed to see many motorhomes on the road with over 200k miles. Thanks for watching and the comment
@@EndlessRVing ok good to know, I didn’t realize that , I figured more miles plus the diesels are soo much more expensive, I think I’m going gas , I’m still pricing and searching anyway. Thanks for the help , I appreciate all of it, thanks for all the videos you do also, I really learn so much . Safe travels to you
My biggest fear is working on the batteries. I only have one wet cell house battery. I was wondering if there was a shut off for winter storage. Thanks
@@EndlessRVing I heard they gas off and shouldn't be charged indoors? But shouldn't be left out in the cold either? I live in Canada with long winters and I don't have a garage, so I'm still unsure of what to do, I did take it outside to charge once the weather warmed up.
Dave B Battleborn claims 10 year battery life and has an awesome warranty to back them up! 3000-5000 charge cycles and then will still have 80% of their capacity.
Actually, Battleborn warranty is for 10 years the actual life should be greater than 10 years. Thus, over a 10 yr period the cost per kwh is less for lithium than other technologies.
This is not true. Battleborn will not charge at 24 F however they will continue to function down to -4 F. A heating blanket or forced heat where they are stored will allow them to function if you are in sun freezing temps. Izzy
I learned a little trick from someone who maintains a huge fleet of golf carts at a major entertainment studio- a tank sprayer! I ordered a one gallon tank sprayer from Amazon. I enlarged the hole on the spray tip to ensure a trickle comes out and not a spray. This works great for filling batteries that are hard to reach. Mine are under the entry steps, so I would have to remove the batteries to fill them. This little tip saves me a lot of time and hassle.
Excellent idea thanks for sharing.

Have you guys looked into fire suppression systems to put in that battery bay? Also for the engine bay and for the back of electric/gas fridges.

10 plus years. They will last a long long time.
I have 6 volt house batteries deep cell and they are getting old now 3 years
Look at the Deka battery. Excellent quality
Just don't use it to bast your turkey afterwards
Lol not a good idea.
Izzy
Freezing weather will destroy lithium batteries. Put your phone in the freezer if you want to test this. Lol
This is not true. Battleborn will not charge at 24 F however they will continue to function down to -4 F. A heating blanket or forced heat where they are stored will allow them to function if you are in sun freezing temps.
