1. RV Starter Battery

As the name implies, RV starting batteries are generally dedicated to providing power to the engine for a short period of time when the RV is started and are not used for long periods of time to power other equipment, so the depth of discharge of these batteries is generally not higher than 50%.

Because engine starting requires strong current, RV starting batteries have low internal resistance and can provide high energy output in a short period of time. Moreover, the internal structure of RV starter batteries is usually specially designed, so that when it suddenly suffers a large energy output, the damage to the battery will be greatly reduced, in order to extend the service life of the battery, take wet lead-acid batteries as an example, this kind of batteries can provide a high current output in a short period of time, and because of its special electrolyte, it can still ensure excellent performance output in a low-temperature environment, which is a good choice for RV starter batteries. a good choice for RV starting batteries.

2. RV Deep Cycle Batteries

The deep cycle battery is the main source of energy for the RV as it provides a long time power supply for the operation of systems and equipment on the vehicle.

Because RV deep cycle batteries are used frequently, they have a higher cycle count and maximum capacity than other RV batteries. Take lithium iron phosphate batteries for example, their cycle count can reach more than 6,000 times and their performance degradation is lower than that of other batteries at higher depths of discharge. In order to protect your normal power supply in the outdoor, save your cost and provide convenience for your life.

3. RV dual-purpose batteries

RV dual-purpose batteries are a special class of batteries, which can be used for dual purposes in RV, i.e., to provide power for equipment in RV and as auxiliary power for RV engine. the unique purpose of RV dual-purpose batteries determines that they can have strong explosive power in a short period of time and have a higher number of cycle times, and the energy density of the batteries is high, etc. The AGM battery meets these requirements very well.

AGM batteries are very consistent with these characteristics, this battery also like wet lead-acid batteries can provide a larger current for the engine, in the same specifications, AGM batteries cycle times and service life, although lower than lithium iron phosphate batteries, but much higher than lead-acid batteries, these characteristics make AGM batteries is one of the most optimal choice to act as a dual-purpose batteries.

4. How do you properly maintain and care for RV batteries?

Different types of RV batteries have different maintenance methods. For example, lead-acid RV batteries need to have distilled water added to the inside of the battery on a regular basis to ensure that the chemical reaction inside the battery proceeds normally, while AMG batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries do not need to have distilled water added to the inside of the battery. Normally, RV batteries need to be placed in a ventilated and dry environment, avoiding direct sunlight and avoiding the battery being hit violently. At the same time, check the battery regularly for leakage, bulging and breakage, etc. If any of the above occurs, in order to protect your life and property, you should replace the battery in time.

5. Can different RV batteries be mixed?

The answer is no, the use of unsuitable batteries will lead to a decline in the overall power supply efficiency of the RV battery, which is not conducive to your driving RV travel. Take Li-FePO4 battery as an example, if you use Li-FePO4 battery as RV starter battery, due to the Li-FePO4 battery can not provide strong energy output in a short period of time, resulting in the RV engine can not start properly, and then your RV can not run. Therefore, only by using RV batteries in the right place, different types of RV batteries can maximize their effect and become a big help in your life.

Summary

Although different types of RV batteries are different in various aspects, RV starting batteries, deep cycle batteries and dual-purpose batteries all have irreplaceable roles in RVs. Only if you choose the right type of batteries and coordinate the relationship between the batteries, these RV batteries can serve you better, so that you can enjoy a comfortable and safe RV travel life.
