Liquid Gel Battery Consideration

[GeorgiaTrains]

This has probably been discussed before but, the search engine is very hard to get results - Has anyone swapped out the standard batteries for liquid gel (Battle Born maybe) and what has been your result and opinions? I only want capability for maybe 2-3 nights MAX and do not want to get into Solar Panes or generators. We have a 36FBTS with 2 wet cell batteries and invertor

Are you talking about AGM?



Try using that for a search if that is what you are referring to. I had 3 AGM 12 volts in the toy hauler and with some genny runs in the AM and PM we would go 14 or more days without issues.

Are you asking about gel batteries (more commonly AGM) or LifePo4 batteries? I have never seen Battle Born sell anything other than LifePo4 batteries. ~CA

Renogy sells both AGM and Lithium. But when I looked at the weight, lifetime and lack of damage if drained I put out the money for the lithium.

My dumb ass - I meant Lithium batteries - it's hell to be old and have a "half brain" - thanks for everyone's patience-

I mainly want to maybe do an overnight at a Harvest Host or just have the confidence to stay somewhere off grid for one or two nights when on the road.

So if I install 4 batteries and make sure my charger is adequate do I need to upgrade the invertor to run the residential fridge, cpap, and furnace if needed?
