Factory-ordered rig came installed with solar, SprintR lithium batteries, ONAN 6.5 LP genset.
First 4 trips since receiving the rig in January had no battery issues but most nights were on shore power. Due to temps, most boondock overnights had the genset running until bedtime, and on again for convection oven in the morning, etc.
These batteries have gauges on each unit. I’ve never seen any reading, on or off shore power, above 13.8.
Sunday we left for a planned 5-day boondock fishing trip. I noticed when unplugging from 50amp shore at our storage unit both batteries read 13.4. Seemed odd, but took off. Four and a half hours later, at our campsite, disconnected the truck and pushed Auto Level. The rig nose dropped as expected, and the inverter kicked out due to low battery power.
It was a battle from then on out. Two and a half hour genset runs, 2x a day, and the readings were never above 13.3. And they drained fast, kicking the inverter off 3 times. The biggest load was the 22cf residential 12v fridge.
After returning, Didn’t want to haul the rig to the dealer for the 5th time (prior slide controller, etc., issues). Pulled the batteries, had the dealer check them. Passed. Kinda sort of. Low but not failed, and not as equal as would be expected for parallel batteries.
I have found the SprintR website, but no reviews or other listings for that brand.
Thoughts?
