The Jayco in the stock location holds a 29HM Marine Battery. Somewhere between 125-150Ah (amp hours). Always worried about draining the battery down on cold nights.
Last winter added the 2 meters, the 4 dots just don't cut it. After a long night with the heater running still showed 12.6! I credit this to the Iota 30 amp charger with IQ4 Smart Charge Controller. The 14.2 is the absorption mode. 14.8 is bulk and 13.8 is float.. stage 4 is a equalization stage which occurs every 7 days. "
This protects the life of your battery by dissolving any sulfate layer on the battery's internal plates and avoids stratification that can occur when a battery has not been in use for extended periods."
Still would to like to go a couple days without running the generator. Or at least once a day. So in comes the 6v golf cart batteries. According to specs 232Ah, 350Ah(ish) if you include the 29HM. Used 2 gauge battery to battery. Next mod will be 2 gauge from battery to DC power panel and the Iota.
Note reinforced the compartment below! 120lbs of batteries requires it.
Bin before shot!
Misc not battery related...
DC to AC for the TV. Got this Stanley 100w converter for $20 a Walmart. Isn't a pure but works fine. Also have a HF 400w but rarely use it. Going to get another similar for the back TV and bathroom.
Save a bit on propane. Plus the propane throws tons of moisture in the air. Both are 1500w.
