I made friends with a couple here in the park and I'm going to move their trailer to the CG storage lot for them. It's a 5'er. I told him to check his battery to make sure the cells are full before storing. He checked it today and found that for whatever reasons, the caps were off and there was a big crack along the top/side of it. Before coming to FL, he did have it home in Ontario for a winter so it may have frozen. He's not a DYI person so he had no clue.
He's asking me if he should replace the battery now before it goes into the storage lot. Initially, I said no to wait till next year but then I'm started think. (That's scary). Apparently he must have been running all his 12 volt stuff off the converter. Now I'm thinking that when he goes to retract his 3 slides, the converter will not have enough power to run the motors. He also has hydraulic levelers/stabilizer jack. If I hook up to my truck, with that give the needed power to run them in or does he need a battery right now?
