Preventing Battery Drain In Storage On A 2018 Momentum RV

Updated 08/23/2021 | Published 08/21/2021

Question:

Will this unit keep my batteries charged while the trailer isnt in use? This is my biggest problem, something is draining them while the trailer is turned off. I was thinking of installing solar to combat that. Please help, thanks.

If your trailer is off or in storage and the battery is draining then you should install a battery disconnect switch like the Epicord Battery Disconnect Switch with Key - 50 Amp # 277-000096 to cut all power consumption from your batteries.

As for charging the batteries the Go Power Eco Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller - 80 Watt Solar Panel # 34272627 will charge approximately 27.42ah a day in peak conditions so if you're having a larger pull than that in a day you'll be needing a larger system.
