Battery replacement and tray

(1/4) > >>

John Padmore:
Started the battery replacement task today. First, the battery tray will not move. Made a schematic of the wiring (I am electrically challenged) and took out the battreries. I have 2 group 31 for chassis and 2 group 31 for house. I know this is probably not correct, so I am looking for information on how this should be set up. My guess is 2 group 31 for chassis and 4 6V golf cart for house.

Also, got the battery tray to finally move but it is in terrible shape with many missing metal pieces. Basically falling apart. Any idea where to get a new one, and how can you get it all the way out to replace? Thanks.....

John,
If your tray is similar to mine, you'll have to pull the complete tray assy out. The slide will not separate from the fixed framework. It isn't  too bad a job. Take it to a welding shop and they should be able to repair it.

Gerald Farris:
John,
You are right about the needed batteries for each bank. The 6V golf cart batteries will need to be wired in series in two pairs to produce two 12V batteries that are installed in parallel to produce 12V to the coach.

See Adam Hicklin's recent thread, "Battery expertise", under this Forum's Technical Support section for ideas on how to set up your new batteries.

John Padmore:
The battery tray I have on my coach is welded in tight. However I found out the end of the slide rails have bent over ends which act as stops. I pried them open and the tray came out. Now I need to find a metal fabricator....thanks.
