New member battery question

use volt meter. jmo

You best bang for the bucks would be to get two 6VDC GOLF CART batteries and connect in series to get 12VDC. This will give around 220AHs of capacity for around $180 plus old cores. Usually they don't care what the two old cores are - just bring along two old dead batteries...

You will need at least two batteries if you plan on camping off the power grid any. Even better if you add a couple of 120WATT SOLAR PANELS to this setup it wil work out for you just fine camping off the power grid...

You can get Get this price at COSTCO or SAM'CLUB - Don't know if you can do up north or not????

Thanks for the info Dakota98. Everywhere I read says to only discharge the battery by 30-50%, how do you monitor that? I am used to hookups but I am venturing into the world without electricity, so I am trying to figure out how to best set myself up

I did some searching also & it appears depending on what web site you visit, it indicates that they are primarily a starting battery but can be used in deep cycle applications.

I did see them rated at about 70Ah, which isn't very much.

You'll use about 35 amps a day just running the frig & sensors, nothing else. that would drain the battery to 50% SOC & would need re-charging at that point

If you're always connected to shore power, it will work, otherwise replace it.

Also, if the TT doesn't already have a battery disconnect switch, I highly encourage you to install one.

That looks like a great resource, I will read through it and keep it on hand.

Hello, welcome to the forum.
Did you ever read The 12 Volt Side of Life. It's informative.

Someone will have a better answer for you, sorry, I don't.
But, read the 12 volt. You'll like it.
