- HOW TO: Maintain & Equalize RV Batteries

- Description
- We demonstrate how to properly service, maintain and equalize the 6-volt deep-cycle golf cart batteries in an RV. The "house" batteries are one of the most misunderstood systems on any RV. The proper care and maintenance of your battery bank will help it perform better and last longer. Flooded, lead-acid batteries are the most common type of battery used in an RV. Keeping them clean and the water level correct should be part of your routine maintenance. During the normal operating process, the batteries discharge and re-charge over and over again. This can cause sulfation, which is the process of sulfates in the electrolyte (acid) coming out of suspension (suspended in the liquid electrolyte) and attaching to the lead plates instead. Equalizing the batteries solves this problem by "boiling" the batteries at higher voltage to break the sulfate loose from the lead plates, and putting it back into suspension, where it belongs. Be sure to confirm that all methods and materials used are compatible with your particular RV. RV Geeks offers basic DIY (do it yourself) RV service, repair and maintenance tips from full-time RVers who have been handling most of their own maintenance since hitting the road in 2003.

- Upgrading the converter / battery charger in my RV to Progressive Dynamics PD4655
- URL
- URL
- Description
- Steps I took to upgrade the stock WFCO 8955 converter / battery charger in my RV to a better one: the Progressive Dynamics 4655. The WFCO is famous for almost never switching into bulk mode (fast charging mode) no matter how low of a charge the batteries have. Because of this limitation, it's impractical to dry camp - unless one plans on having to run their generator all day and night. I haven't gotten the new PD4655 to output 55 amps to the batteries just yet, but it's already preforming MUCH better than the WFCO. I'm certain that once I upgrade the battery cable gauge from AWG #6 to AWG #3, I'll get an even faster battery charge - in a matter of a few hours instead of 12+ hours. Even without upgrading the wiring, the PD4655 is already charging the batteries much faster. NOTE: Tech support gave me instructions for fixing the problem with the green status LED not working. It turns out that the conductors in the 4-pin connector were in connected (at the factory) in the wrong sequence. I've posted the simple fix here: public.fotki.com PD4655 WFCO 8900 PD4600 8955
