Charging 6 V. batteries while boondocking?
Which is the best way to charge 6V batteries when boondocking? Should I just hook the 1500 watt Honda generator to the shore power cord or hook the generator to a battery charger to the batteries. ...
Forum Discussion
Seriously, the best method depends on how often & for how long of a time do you boondock ?
I also run a 6-volt system.
Solar ($$$) or generator. If you decide to use the Genny consider this:
Start with finding out what your convertor is capable of (charging mode) some,like mine, only output about 5 amps for charging. This amount of amps is too low & will not work.
Next, If the generator has a 12 volt charging output connection, determine what its capabilities are.
Also, what type of battery charger do you have ? manual or "smart"

PS: IF CHARGING IS DONE USING A BATTERY CHARGER U MAY NEED TO DISCONNECT THE COACH FROM THE BATTERIES ( POS & NEG ) PRIOR TO CONNECTING & USING THE BATTERY CHARGER
