Re: [RC] 5th wheel battery? - Truman Prevatt

If your charger is working correctly it should not fry the battery. The trouble with RV's and batteries is mechanical fault. RV's are a pretty harsh environment from road vibration. The cheap wet batteries then to not last much more than a year if that. A AGM battery designed to deal with the mechanical stress, i.e., Lifeline by Concord http://www.lifelinebatteries.com/ or the Interstate Optima work much better than the Walmart special.

I recently purchased a 5^th wheel with living quarters. The battery which operates the jack went dead and I’m wondering if I am at fault. I’d been keeping the trailer plugged in to my house power because the battery went dead once before. After plugging the trailer in to the house, voila….the next day it worked! Since then I’ve left the trailer plugged in and it seems I fried the battery?? What is the best way to take care of the new battery so that it’s charged whenever I decided to use the trailer? I don’t use it very often. Thank you. Nina
