Enough Batteries?? July 17, 2022, 11:09:50 pm Newmar Class A King Aire 4519. It looks like there’s 16 batteries in that compartment. HOLY SMOKES!
Re: Enough Batteries?? Reply #2 – July 18, 2022, 03:21:47 am Well enough for a 45 foot Diesel Pusher. 16 at 6v = 8 at 12 volts. If they are like most 6v batteries about 250 AH times 8 equals 2,000 AH. If you discharge them to 50%, you could get 6 SOK 206 AH batteries. And discharge them to 80% without harming them. (Depth of discharge). 6 at 50 pounds is 300 pounds. If these lead acid batteries weigh 60 pounds each, that's 960 pounds. So you could save 660 pounds, and it would take up less room! About 1/2 the room. Those 45 foot long Diesel pushers, with tag axle are expensive at about $900,000 new. What's a little more for better batteries! Five tanks of gas would buy the Lithium batteries.
