I have a question regarding batteries for my 1968 C11. Not wet cell vs. AGM but how many batteries did these come with from the factory ? And what size were they ? When I got my camper it did not have batteries in it but it looks like it is wired for one/two in the step to the overhead. The reason I say one/two is I have no way of knowing if some of the current wiring in that area may be for a charger/converter. The camper came with an ancient charger/inverter but it was just loose in the camper I really don't know if it was ever installed. I plan on going more modern so I'm not going to use it. But anyway how many batteries were originally installed ? This battery compartment is vented. Pics would be helpful. Thanks
Do you mean charger/invertor or charger/converter ? In any event , mine was the same as 69 Avion , only the charger was under the dinette . I think the original battery was a F3 tractor battery , it was in a plastic box that had the Avion name on it . Here is a picture
I replaced it with two 24's that I made a sealed ss box for , couldn't find a ready made one the right size . It's tall enough that I can go with two 6v if I want to go that route . I also replaced the charger with an Iota 3 stage convertor/charger . Here's a pic of the new set up.
