 Ξ Battery Power - a.k.a. 12 Volt Electricity  Ξ

 

The 12 Volt "house" battery bank [not the engine "start" battery(s)] is the largest and most important system in any RV.  Yet, unfortunately, it is the most misused and abused system in many RVs!  Learn why these important batteries do not die from old age.  Instead, they are annihilated in their prime - by neglect!  Discover how to ensure your RV’s batteries will last the manufacturer’s intended five to six-year lifespan, rather than the more commonly experienced, albeit brief (and expensive), two years or less.  Find out why your RV “unique” appliances will NOT work without a good 12 Volt system (even if the appliance is designed to operate on 120 Volt electricity or propane).  Explore the differences between an "Inverter" and a "Converter," and how each works.  And, much, much more...


* (Sorry - "BATTERY POWER" is not sold separately at this time.)
