It is very refreshing to see someone explain the batteries in an easy to explain terminology. Most shops I have been in confuse the customer.

Great video! Kudos for realizing there isn't "one right answer" on this topic. I mean how many folks argue over which battery is best not realizing that for some folks the basic lead-acid battery will meet their needs while some do need to spend what seems like huge money on lithium...crazy. :) Thanks again!

Thank you for explaining exactly what I needed to do,to leave battery's in my RV and not pulling then and putting in my house. I have left them out (no charger) in RV 3 winters,not any more thanks to you. Hats off to you.
-
Thanks great info and details. I needed my battery this past weekend when the state part I was in lost power for about 4hrs. So used the battery sparingly.

Great job. GREAT INFO. Decision making right now to set up my future replacement RV for lots of boondocking.
-
FINALLY....I understand this electrical stuff.....THANKS so much.....you rock!!
-
This was excellent and contributed positively to my next steps in power plant management for my RV. Thanks for posting!

Thank you!! you are a life saver, really. On the east coast, having a hard time finding Lithum batteries. Thank you.

Just ran across your channel. You did a great job explaining the different types of batteries. Look forward to watching more videos. Thanks for the info.

I gots 2 Battleborns. Love them.. hard to explain to people how great they are.
-
What impressed me is that you live full-time in your rig. This means you need to really know what is working for you in terms of batteries. Excellent breakdown of types and advantages. Thank you for explaining it all because all of us need to know this!

Great video! One other option with the deep cycle flooded is a maintenance free. I have two group 27s but there’re maintenance free so I don’t have to worry about the water levels. With a good solar system and charging cycle it brings to the table it seems to work for me. I sometimes have let the maintenance (water levels) get away from me and the maintenance free ones have helped a lot. Thanks again! Bob

Terrific! I’m restoring a canned ham. Want to boondock and do solar. This was so helpful and you explain things well. Love your diagrams too.

Sigh of relief..I understood every word and needed this tutorial BAD! About to decided on batteries! Thank you so much.

This is hands down the BEST video I've seen regarding power/batteries. Thank you for the ample and digestible info!!

Thank you 🙏 As a newbie, I have been looking for a good understanding of the batteries in my RV and I am so glad for your comprehensive video on this topic!!! Thank you 🙏 again!!!

Great video, thank you for NOT putting time wasting fluff into your content!
-
Great breakdown. Really appreciate your time and effort in this. Looking forward to the convertor video. Interested to understand how a two phase works.

Hi And Thanks So Much!!! It's just so confusing building a camper and trying to decide which way to go. But you've shared the most important we need to know which, will help many folks like me! I really appreciate this very helpful information! I can't thank you enough b/c I'm struggling, as a disabled vet w/a TBI. And for so long, I've been trying to figure out how to set my van up electrically (etc.), and to convert my van, so I can enjoy some weekender camping, as well as, have enough power, to share some upcoming awesome music shows to folks at campgrounds etc. As far as figuring out how to set up my batts... I'd be Truly Grateful To You (Or Anyone?) who can help me figure out a simple lay out that works. I know I need at least 2 Aux Batts to be able to last for weekend camps and, maybe even a 3rd batt to power my powered monitor for the shows. After hearing about a converter charger? (I dont' know if that's anything like an inverter which I'll need for the A/C.), I'm a little bit curious and (again), I'd be Truly Grateful to you (and/or anyone reading this post) if you could help me figure out for example: How to properly hook up 2 (or 3) Aux Batts for weekend camps. (I.E. roof fan, dometic fridge, laptop, led lights and my 1000W amp for shows)... And tying in a Batt Monitor & Converter Charger, using an isolation switch and/or a heavy duty switch (so I don't drain my van's main battery)... But also after camp & shows, be able to cancel isolating and "Charge All 3 Batts" off my Promaster's alternator system W/O burning up the alt? Maybe a heavy duty switch does both - I.E. Isolate 2 Aux Batts from a van batt - But Also; tie the 2 aux batts and van batt together for charging? Can a heavy duty batt switch isolate And tie 3 batts together to charge off the alt? if so, would hooking 2 Aux Batts In Parallel, make them like just one? And be perfectly ok to hook to the heavy duty battery switch and/or isolation switch (if needed?). Also, was that Power Master Converter you showed us, the "Converter Charger" you speak of which you say, should be a Multi Stage one? If so, where is it's place in the circut and finally, where's the best place to hook up the batt monitor in my situation? Please forgive me asking for help and above questions but I'm hoping someone can help me w/o too much trouble. So I too, can help folks enjoy their travels with some awesome music! Happy Thanksgiving (And Merry Christmas & Happy New Years) Everyone! Again, I Thank You So Much for the AWESOME Battery Education! Your video was made Perfectly! And is So Helpful! And Thank You #All About RV's (And Anyone Else who cares to offer a helping hand), for helping me figure out at least the power situation!
