We currently use 2 6v GC batteries in our small camper. We use a GoPower 80 watt suitcase solar panel for charging. We like boon-docking in NP's rather than parking lot campgrounds. Our usage is low; CPAP, small Fan, charging phones/laptop and the usual RV stuff. Our 6v batteries are nearing their life expectancy (I think) at 6 years old. I don't have a battery monitor yet but after reading this forum will be getting one.
With the condition of my back (L5/S1) lifting the batteries out of the box and dragging them in/out of the house for the winter (Buffalo NY area) is getting problematic for me. So my question is; if I went with 2 100Ah 12V LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Batteries, could I leave them in the RV over the winter or should they be removed as well?
Not crazy about the price but it might be a small price to pay not dealing with the 70 lb GC batteries twice a year.
Opinions and Ideas Greatly welcomed.....
