• How To Charge Vehicle Battery Using Trailer Battery While Hooked Up To Shore Power
  The purpose of a diode is to stop the back flow of electricity. I can honestly say I have never heard of someone wanting to run a charge line from the trailer battery to the vehicle battery but I'm sure it would be possible. That said, when you attach two batteries to one another via a charge line they will try to balance each other. Therefore, if the start battery has more juice than the trailer battery the trailer battery will pull from the start battery and vice versa. The diode however...

• Maintenance Charging Trailer Batteries Using An Isolation Solenoid
  Yes. The difference in battery styles doesn't matter for you to use the Battery Isolation Solenoid # PK5231201 to give you a maintenance charge on your trailer batteries while connected. When disconnected from your tow vehicle for long periods, I recommend using a battery tender/maintainer like the NOCO Genius Mini # 329-GENIUS5 versus a trickle charger on those batteries to make sure your trailer is ready for use when you are ready to camp. This unit uses a multi-stage charging algorithm...

• Wiring 12 Volt Batteries for Same Voltage But Increased Amp Hour Usage
  When you wire your 12v batteries in parallel, the voltage stays the same but the capacity is doubled. This is regarding the amp hours you referenced. You can use the Deka Stackable Battery Cable - 2/0 Gauge - Black - 13" Long # DW04316 and Red # DW01485.

• Charging System for 6 Volt Battery and 12V Battery
  The CTEK MULTI US 3300 12-Volt Universal Battery Charger w/ Pulse Maintenance # CTEK56353 is only a 12V charger that will allow you to connect the lead wires to the battery terminals with either spring clamps or ring terminals. For a charger that can charge both 12-volt and 6-volt batteries I would use the NOCO # 329-GENIUS5. If you are wanting to charge between the two batteries, that is not a directly compatible option. You could however charge two 6V batteries wired in series with...

• How Long Does it Take for the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller to Drain a Battery
  If you completely disconnected power to the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 then you would indeed lose all of your settings. The controller does go into a sleep mode after around 15 minutes of inactivity but there will still be a few milliamps of power being draw from the vehicle's battery. This could then potentially drain the vehicle's battery after a few months but since the charging system on your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 features a two battery bank, it might last...

• Battery Charger for Maintaining the Charge on a 2005 Ford Excursion Diesel with 2 Odyssey Batteries
  The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D is designed to charge an auxilliary battery form the vehicle alternator output or from the starting battery on the vehicle. This charger would not work for your application unless you have a solar panel that can be ran to the yellow input wire of the # 331-BCDC1225D charger. In that case the solar power can be used to help maintain the vehicle batteries and keep them from overcharging while you are away from the cabin for extended...

• Is Isolator Needed When Installing Battery On Trailer And Connecting To Tow Vehicle Wiring
  A diode or isolator is not necessary if you are installing a battery on your trailer in the same manner as was recommended on the earlier question. There would not be enough power flowing back to the towing vehicle that would cause damage. The battery charger I recommend is the NOCO Genius Mini # 329-GENIUS5 when you are near shore power. This has pulse maintenance to keep the battery charged so that it is ready to go when you are.

• Can Two 12 Volt Batteries Connected in Parallel be Charged Through a Switch Using a NOCO Charger
  You can charge 2 batteries when they are connected in parallel using a battery charger such as # 329-GENIUS5. However, it will take longer to charge the batteries when they are connected compared to if you were to charge each one separately. The best battery charger to use for charging batteries in parallel would be # 329-GENIUS10. It has a higher amperage output and will charge faster. I have included a link to our FAQ article on battery chargers for you.

• Can Battery Charger Be Left Installed on Vehicle That Has Lights that Come On Occasionally
  The NOCO Genius Battery Charger and Maintainer # 329-GENIUS5 is essentially the same thing as a battery tender maintainer. This will charge a dead battery and then once it senses that it's fully charged goes into maintenance mode to keep it topped off. You'd be able to leave it hooked up and put small amounts of draw on the battery no problem. I have this charger on a car at my house and I open the door of the vehicle on occasion which turns on the interior light and it works just fine.

• Electric Trailer Jack Light Comes On but Motor Does Not Run
  I do not think the fuse is blown because the light still comes on. It sounds like the motor has gone out. This could happen from over extending a jack or overloading it. If the jack is connected to a battery mounted on the trailer, the battery may not have enough juice to power on the motor but just the light. Take the battery off and have it tested. For a battery charger, use NOCO Genius Smart Batter Charger - AC to DC - 6V/12V - 5 Amp Item # 329-GENIUS5. This charger works much better...

• Amount of Power Drawn By Optronics Platinum Burners Off-Road LED Lamps
  The Optronics # LS204RW Platinum Burners lamps draw about .3 amps while the # LS16A2WS (which we don't offer) draws about .5. A motorcycle battery would be a good balance between available power and reduced size and weight, and would provide the amount of power you'd need. If you don't already have one, you'll need a charger like # 329-GENIUS5 to keep the battery charged when not in use.

• How Do I Connect A1000w Inverter To My Two 6V Batteries Connected In Series
  When batteries are connected in parallel the negative terminals are connected together and the positive terminals are connected together. The negative current that comes into your battery bank flows into the negative terminals and the positive current flows from the positive terminals of your battery bank. If you want to connect your new batteries in series, you will be connecting one of your battery's positive terminal to the second battery's negative terminal. The current into the battery...

• 12-Volt Accessory Circuit from Trailer Connector Not Keeping Trailer Battery Charged
  For starters, be aware that the limited wire gauge feeding this 12-volt circuit from the 7-way plus the distance the two batteries are away from each other means that although the tow vehicle battery can provide a maintenance charge to the trailer battery, it won't have sufficient power to charge it once it's discharged or nearly so. A good battery charger like the NOCO # 329-GENIUS5 should be used to fully charge the battery when shore power is available (which it sounds like you're doing...

• Will Wiring Two 12V Batteries in Series Result in Double Capacity
  Wiring the batteries in series is going to give you double the voltage (24V) with the same capacity (Ah). In order to have the same 12V power with the additional Ah you will need to wire the batteries in parallel. This will give you the same voltage with double the capacity. See the diagrams below.

• Can a Motorcycle Battery Be Used With a Gas/Electric RV Water Heater
  Yes, you can use a motorcycle battery to power the thermostat and ignitor on an RV water heater such as the Atwood RV Water Heater part # AT96163 for 6 gallon or part # AT94022 for 10 gallon. However, you will need to make sure the motorcycle battery is 12 VDC as some can also be 6 VDC which you could still use but would need to use two and wire them in series. Please note that the unit would still need to have access to 120 VAC as well as natural gas in order to function properly. The...
