To operate your RV, you need battery power. You should consider how big those batteries will be before shopping for a battery for your RV, as there are a variety of different kinds of batteries that can best power your RV. Not all types of batteries are created equal, so you’ll have to choose the correct one carefully. This article has tips and tricks on how to select the right type of battery so you can be sure that it will work well with your RV.
Your RV power needs
The size of the battery you need is determined by your RV power needs. This means knowing how many amps your appliances will draw and finding a battery that has enough amp hours to provide power for all of these appliances. If you are going camping in the summer, you can choose a smaller battery than if you were going on an extended winter trip.
Weight and size
They also need to be able to fit in your RV; weight is an important consideration when it comes to buying batteries because the heavier the battery, the more difficult it will be to move around. You want your batteries to last for years with minimal maintenance, so don’t choose heavy-weight batteries if you have a small RV.
Lithium RV batteries
These batteries are typically the most expensive but will last the longest. They also tend to be more powerful than other batteries, making them valuable for larger vehicles and equipment. Lithium batteries will run cooler than steel and fibreglass types and come with a five-year warranty for the battery only or up to 10 years for the whole RV. These batteries can be damaged by exposure to excessive heat or foreign objects like loose parts, so they should be stored in a well-ventilated area away from items that could break open and affect any electronics within.
Why are AGM batteries are the best for your RV?
Most of the time, a deep cycle battery is the best fit for your RV. These are used in boats, cars, and RVs. The main difference between AGM batteries and flooded batteries is that AGM batteries are sealed and no gasses can be released from them. AGM stands for Absorbent Glass Mat, and this mat contains electrolyte which is a substance that breaks down as it is discharged and recharges, so they can be used over and over again without needing to keep on recharging as flooded batteries do.
