Is it possible to disable the Bluetooth connection and still be able to use the One Control monitor? Why you ask? I boondock quite often and I to lose battery power over night when using fridge, furnace, and my CPAP. Shut generator off between 10:30 and 11 pm and by 5 - 5:30 am I am in need of power. Coach has 2 large batteries that are at 100 % when generator is shut down for the night. This is the first trailer I've owned that is controlled completely by
One Control. So far my only option I feel I have is to add another battery or two. I never had this issue with the previous trailers I've owned.

My first suggestion would be to add 2 more batteries, at minimum. Second suggestion is to use 6v golf cart batteries. They are true deep cycle batteries and can be discharged much more deeply than so-called "deep cycle" 12v batteries, and not be damaged. Third suggestion, assuming you've got the funds to do it, is to go to lithium batteries. You'll get twice the storage for half the weight and probably 5x the life of any lead-based battery. You will also likely have to change out the OEM power converter (battery charger) to one that's compatible with Li. My cousin, that's using a Nissan Leaf battery for his bus build (see http://www.beginningfromthismorning.com), recommends a slightly different Li battery than what Nissan uses in their batteries. It's the same ones that Battle Born uses in their batteries. IIRC, it's a lithium iron chemistry. Lyle |

Thanks for the reply. Found the problem. The dealer had installed two 27 series batteries that had a Reserve Capacity of 110 min @ x amps. I replaced with batteries similar to my other trailers with a Reserve Capacity of 220 min @ x amps. Plenty of power between generator use now.

I still say that the next time you need to replace the batteries, go with the 6v golf cart batteries. You'll lose just a touch of amp/hr (like 10), but the advantage of being able to more deeply discharge and recover outweighs that slight difference, IMO. Lyle |
