Upgraded to 6 volt battery bank

weaselguys · Jul 3, 2018

I got tired of the 160 ah battery capacity of our 2 12 volt batteries in our fifth wheel so I replaced them with (4) 6 volt 232ah batteries from US Battery.
I also added a dedicated charger a Boondocker BD-1275-C 75 amp 4 stage charger, a 250 amp T fuse, 500 amp shunt and a old 1000 watt inverter that I had. Here is my system now it is 12 volt and 464 ah of power.

Looks good. Hope you enjoy it.

Oh it is still a 12 volt battery bank, Just made up of six volt batteries. (But that's nit picking)

GOod job

Kudos for not using a 4000 Watt inverter, at 1000 W your batteries will thank you.. LOL

I can't see needing more than 1000 watts very often I am going to run 2 outlets off of it. And if I need more than 1000 watts I will fire up the generator.
