- Hello and welcome to The Great Outdoors RV! To get the best service and longest life from your batteries, be sure to use the right type for your particular RV’s needs and power usage.
Add distilled water to replace water lost during operation in conventional flooded-type batteries. Avoid discharging batteries below 50% of their capacity, and recharge them as soon as possible. Many RVs have monitor panels which display battery states of charge. This can also be measured with a voltmeter at the battery terminals.
A fully charged battery at rest (no load or charging being done) should read 12.6 volts or higher. A 75% charge should yield a 12.4-volt reading, 50% charge would be 12.0 volts, and a 25% charge 11.7 volts. Use a maintenance type charger (or smart-type power converter) during periods of storage.
With a comprehensive understanding of your RV batteries and proper ongoing care, you can add years to a battery’s life.

Thank you Gentleman. Rick you are awesome. Very informative
Great video! I'm going to get 6 volts
Great video.
Good to know cool video
eficiente y duradero, muy bueno para mi trabajo.
So 2 6V have more useable hrs but still he recommends 2 12V for 30ft but less time. Didn’t mention if 2 6V or 2 12V were going to be in series or parallel. All good info. I’m learning but 2 6V in series would give you 12V. Which be the same if 2 12V were parallel. So why the recommendation for 2 12 V ?? Was he saying to do them in series for more volts. Which I didn’t think was the case...
The guy in the interview is WRONG about 6 volt amp hour ratings. The correct AH rating would be 225AH ran in series, not 440AH.
Hey guy!! Where have you been?? I love when you and Tom do a review of a camper it brings some comedy to the show. Where did you disappear to?
What type of battery is better for solar set up on your rig?
Two 6-Volt batteries ran in series to make 12-Volt
What battery's would be best for a Solar Set-up
Two 6-Volt batteries ran in series to make 12-Volt
Any except lead acid
I fail in this department. I want to master this. All my batteries dies within months. I keep killing them. I don't know how much power is being drawn. I asked them. Yet it keeps dying
When adding distilled water, should the battery be disconnected from its source?
Yes
My battery is a marine battery, any help? Have a problem with my lights, can't unplug them. Thanks Terri Denty
So what voltage is 50% discharge on a 12 V system? (2 6v in series). I believe 13.6 is full charge. But what would 50% be.
Hi there Mel,
The resulting voltage would be 6.8V, though your amp hours would vary.
Have a great day!
