Expert Answers about Chevrolet Battery

• Can You Mix Batteries That Have Different Amp Hour Ratings
• Yes, your RV batteries should all have the same voltage and amperage rating. The reason you cant mix match different batteries like Go Power Lithium RV Battery 34282740 and Go Power Lithium RV Battery # 34282738 that have different amp ratings is due to differences in battery management systems and battery cell counts, and there may be a charging and voltage discrepancy between batteries. This will cause the highest voltage battery to charge the lowest voltage battery attempting to create...

• How to Prevent Breakaway Battery From Draining Winch Battery Power
• If I'm understanding you correctly the starter solenoid # PK5231201 is not the solution to your problem. Based on what you have described, it sounds like both the breakaway battery and winch battery are hooked to the 12V power coming from your 7-way. This is what I would expect to see, and would allow for a maintenance charge on both when hooked up to the tow vehicle. However, with the winch battery and breakaway battery on the same circuit you see the breakaway battery constantly charging...

• Can Two Lithium Batteries and Two Wet Batteries Be Charged at the Same Time With the NOCO GENPRO
• Jimmy, yes I believe you are going to be able to charge two Lithium and two Wet batteries at the same time with the NOCO GENPRO On-Board Battery Charger # NOC84FR. This battery charger should have two separate channels that allows for this very thing to be done.

• Can The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger RED96FR Be Used For Marine Batteries
• The Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # RED96FR can be used to charge marine batteries. That said, we never recommend using two different size batteries regardless of how they are connected together. So in order to use this charger with your current setup you would need to disconnect the batteries from each other on order to charge. That or get a new battery so you can have two batteries of equal capacity. This would allow you to use the charger as intended. Hard to say exactly what...

• Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter & Battery Chargers For 12V Lithium or 24V Lead Acid
• You will be able to use either the Progressive Dynamics Inteli-Power RV Converter and Battery Charger 60-Amp # PD79RR or 45-Amp # PD69RR to charge your lithium battery. The difference is going to come down to the maximum rate of charge that can go to the battery or batteries if you add a 2nd battery, which results in how quickly the battery can reach a full charge. The higher the amperage the more output to the batteries. Since your tiny house is using 24v lead acid batteries I recommend...

• What Type of Battery Does Redarc 12 V Smart Battery Monitor RED42RR Work With
• Hey Kevin, so the Redarc 12V Smart Battery Monitor # RED42RR can only be used with a single 12 volt battery. It can not be used with a two battery bank that has 6 volt batteries.

• Will The NOCO Charger NOC94FR Work For 3 12v batteries Wired In Series?
• The NOCO GEN On-Board Battery Charger # NOC94FR will work for charging all 3 of your 12v batteries at the same time, however you will need to disconnect each battery prior to charging. If you want to keep all 3 batteries wired in series, they will need to be charged as if they were a single battery. For that you can use the NOCO Genius UltraSafe Industrial Battery Charger # 329-GX3626 which is made for 36v systems. The charger will connect to the positive terminal on the lead battery...

• Recommended Battery Box For The Go Power Lithium RV Battery # 34282740
• Hey Matt, Since the Go Power Lithium RV Battery # 34282740 is a Group 4D battery size you'd need the Noco Commercial Grade Battery Box for Group 4D Batteries # 329-HM408. The four corners of this box have mounting holes so that you can easily bolt it down to your RV/boat.

• Troubleshooting Trailer Battery Charging Breakaway Battery When Disconnected From Tow Vehicle
• The light might stay on briefly on your # 3802346 but it shouldn't be on for a prolonged period of time. What it sounds like is that the breakaway battery is pulling power from your trailer battery/winch battery. It won't overcharge it so for now it is fine but I don't recommend leaving it that way. All you need to do to prevent this is add in the Roadmaster Hy-Power Diode # RM-790 between your breakaway and your other 12V battery. This allows the electrical current to flow in only one...

• Do RV Carbon Monoxide and Propane Detectors Have an Internal Battery Backup?
• The Atwood RV Carbon Monoxide and Propane Gas Detector # AT36681 does not have a battery backup since it uses the trailer battery to act as its battery source. Since the 12 volt battery typically is the power reserve for the 12 volt systems on a trailer should the shore power go out the manufacturers of these for RV's does not add an internal battery backup.

• How To Wire In A NOCO Battery Charger To Two Batteries Wired In Parallel
• It looks like your batteries are wired in parallel so the positive cable of the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger # 329-GENIUS10 can be ran to the positive post on one battery and the negative cable from the charger can be ran to the negative post on the same battery. This specific charger only comes with clamps instead of ring terminals so I recommend picking up the Replacement X-Connect Eyelet Terminals # 329-GC002 for a more secure connection to the battery bank.

• Battery Boxes Capable Of Holding 6V LifeLine Battery GPL-4CT On Trailer Tongue
• For 6-volt battery boxes we have a couple options to hold your two 6V lifeline GPL-4CT batteries. I was able to see that this battery is 10.28" long, 7.06" wide and 9.92" tall. First is the Commercial Grade Battery Box # 329-HM426 which is designed to hold 2 6 volt batteries. The interior dimensions are 14-5/8" long, 10-1/2" wide and 11-1/2" tall. The Exterior is 17-15/16" long, 14-5/16" wide and 14" tall. Next the TorkLift PowerArmor Solar Locking Battery Box # TLA7712RS will allow...

• How To Remove Battery From 18 Volt Solera Rechargeable Awing Arms
• I reached out to Lippert for help with their Solera 18V Electric RV Awning Conversion Kit # LC434730. While they do not have a video or instructions which address removing or installing the new Battery # LC387959 I was instructed the retainers holding in the battery clip in and out of the outer arm. If you are in a colder climate it is likely that the plastic clips are stiffer and may not want to easily be removed. A set of Picks # PT76VR will help you to get behind the clips and push them...

• Does the Battery on a 2024 Chevy Trax Need to Be Disconnected for Flat Towing
• Hey Lloyd! According to pages 265 and 266 of the online owner's manual for your 2024 Chevy Trax you will need to disconnect your battery for flat towing. Because of this I recommend checking out the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch # RM-766 to make disconnecting your battery as easy as the push of a button, along with the Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to help ensure your battery is fully charged when you reach your destination.

• Recommended Converter to Charge Generator Battery
• Instead of a full on converter like the # 34266168 I would get a battery charger like the NOCO GEN On-Board Battery Charger # NOC54FR. This will still plug into an available outlet on your generator and then connect directly to your battery to keep it charged/maintained. It is compatible with wet cell, gel cell, AGM, enhanced flooded, maintenance-free, and Lithium-ion batteries.

• Can the 12V Power Wire In a 7 Way Be Used to Charge a Lithium Battery
• Rich, the 12V wire is not going to charge your lithium battery well. Typically when you start your vehicle and your alternator is charging the starting battery, you will get some charging to your lithium battery while the alternator is outputting at bulk or absorption voltage, but once the starting battery reaches the float stage you will get a very minimal amount of charging to your battery. So, you're going to need to run the power from the start battery instead of the 12v pin on the 7-way.

• Can NOCO GEN On-Board Battery Charger Negative Cables Be Connected to Same Terminal
• Hey Danny, thanks for reaching out! It sounds like your battery bank is setup in a parallel series configuration (see attached) so you'll need to connect each negative wire to the negative post on each battery for the 3-Bank NOCO GEN On-Board Battery Charger # NOC94FR to avoid errors with the operation of this charger. I confirmed this with my contact at NOCO, and it is the same case for all other chargers that connect to individual batteries in a bank. If you have a different battery...

• Recommended Solar Panel to Charge a Breakaway Battery
• Yes, there is! You can use the 2.5-Watt Solar Battery Charger # PTW2997 you were looking at. However, this has alligator clamps so it will be a bit more difficult. A better option would be to install the Bright Way Solar Battery Charger item # BRW54FR due to it having terminal rings. The connections won't come disconnected while you are using your trailer. Your breakaway battery just needs to be a 12-volt battery with at least 5 amp-hours.

• Do Roadmaster Battery Disconnects Fit 2024 GMC Canyon Denali
• Hey Bob, so I checked with Roadmaster and they do have the battery disconnect kit part # RM-766 listed as a fit for the 2024 GMC Canyon gas models and the part # RM93MR for the diesel models. They did state that some truck models have two batteries and in those situations you'd need a disconnect kit for each battery. They don't list any special steps for your truck and instead recommend just the standard connections. Maybe I am not understanding your battery setup but most vehicle batteries...

• Why Does The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect RM-766 Attach To The Positive Battery Post
• Hey Brad, that is a good question. The Roadmaster Battery Disconnect # RM-766 attaches to the positive battery post because that is what the polarity of the solenoid is designed for. This also allows for a positive current source for accessories such as a breakaway switch or stop light switch. If you were to disconnect the battery without using a Roadmaster Battery Disconnect, you would just pull the negative cable off like it says in your manual. With the # RM-766 though it will connect...
