Simple RV Battery Maintenance to Keep Them Going Longer
Dave SolbergDescription
Like many maintenance jobs, RV battery maintenance may seem like a thankless job that really isn’t needed as often as recommended, but this is one case where you get what you pay for, so to speak. Battery terminals and connections can corrode in a matter of weeks, and a corroded connection reduces the recharging capabilities of your batteries. When batteries sit in an uncharged state, they will not only provide less power, but they also begin to sulfate. Sulfation is the number one killer of RV batteries.
In this video, you’ll learn the simple techniques for doing a basic RV battery maintenance session. You’ll see how to remove loose corrosion powder from the outside of the battery and what corroded posts look like when they need care. Find out what comes in a battery maintenance kit and why you need to have every item in there. You’ll learn safety tips on the correct way to remove and attach battery cables as well as hints on preventing damage from battery acid splashes. From visual inspections to using battery post protectors, you’ll learn all the steps to RV battery maintenance here.
