A lot of RV owners order batteries online, especially lithium, and then look at the compartment and think better of it. Group 31 and 4D lead-acid batteries weigh a lot. Battery compartments are often low, tight and hard to reach. And wiring a bank wrong can damage batteries or electronics.
We install batteries you have already bought, at the RV.
What installation includes
- Testing the existing system before anything comes out, so we know whether there is a charging problem the new batteries would inherit.
- Removing and recycling the old batteries.
- Cleaning or replacing corroded terminals and cable ends where needed.
- Wiring the new bank correctly: series for 6-volt pairs, parallel for 12-volt batteries, and the right cable lengths so the batteries share load evenly.
- Main fusing near the battery where the system calls for it.
- Securing the batteries so they can't shift on the road.
- Confirming the batteries charge from every source you have: shore power, generator, solar and alternator.
Before you buy
Send us a photo of the compartment and your current batteries first, if you can. We can tell you whether the batteries you are looking at will fit and whether your converter will charge them correctly. That one step saves a lot of returns.
Lithium installs
Most of the batteries people hand us are lithium. Our lithium upgrade page explains the charging checks we do. If your converter, solar controller or alternator setup needs a change, we explain the options before we connect anything.
Where we install
Campgrounds, RV parks and resorts, storage lots that allow it, driveways and roadside when needed, anywhere in Florida.
Questions we get about this
Will you install a battery I bought from another store?
Yes. That is what this service is for.
What if the battery I bought doesn't fit?
We will tell you before we start forcing anything. Sending a photo of the compartment before you buy avoids this.
Is the battery warranty affected?
The warranty comes from the battery maker and seller. Some lithium makers ask for specific charger settings to keep the warranty valid, and we set those when we can.
