Finding the Right RV Battery

You’ve probably done some research into RV batteries, and you’ve found that you have a lot of options – probably far more than you expected. Whether this is your first time purchasing an RV battery, or you’ve bought them for years, it can be a little confusing to go about making the right decision – and make no mistake; it’s a significant one.

Here are a few tips to help make that decision much easier.

• The amount of energy your RV will need – This will depend on many factors, but the most important one will be how you intend to use your RV. Will you typically take it to a campground where power already exists, or will you go off the grid, where there is no power source? Do you have a refrigerator and an oven in your RV? If so, how often do you use them? The more appliances you have, the more power you’ll need your battery to provide.
• Will you spend a lot of time off-road? – If that’s the case, then you’ll need a battery that can handle a lot of vibrations, as well as impacts. The Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) design of ODYSSEY^® batteries help provide extreme leak-free resistance to vibration.
• Withstanding temperature extremes – You might not be a fair-weather camper. You take your RV out no matter how hot or cold it may be. If that’s the case, you’ll want a battery that can withstand the elements. As we already covered, the ODYSSEY^® battery can handle temperatures as cold as -40°F (-40°C) and as hot as 176°F (80°C).

Getting the Most Out of Your RV Battery

You don’t want to experience a battery failure during your road trip. To keep that from happening, you’ll want to keep the following in mind when it comes to maximizing your battery’s lifespan.

• Always check the owner’s manual to ensure you’re storing and maintaining your battery correctly.
• If you don’t plan on taking your RV on the road for a few months, disconnect the battery.
• Proper mounting is important to extending the life of your battery. It needs to be mounted securely so it isn’t subjected to forces it’s not designed to withstand. Make sure if you are using any hold-downs, they are secure and change them out if they’re not.
