Amp hours in battery

[model71]

Hi to one and all, I have a 2251SLE 2015 am I correct that the batteries are two 100 amp hour batteries.The camper is stock , no change to the batteries.Thanks

[CHICKDOE]

need the make / model of the batteries. normally the batteries are installed by the dealer and every dealer uses a different type.

I don't have the make and model of battery.Would it be likely that stock batteries are 100 amp each.

85-100 is standard, but dealers install whatever they can get for cheap

If you have left the batteries connected then walked away from the trailer for 2 weeks or more, you most likely have damaged/ reduced this number anyhow (Unless you have a Battery disconnect at the battery)

A battery is like a savings account. You only get out what you put in. Unlike a savings account, a battery pays no interest, in fact it uses a small portion of the deposited power in it's chemical reaction.

Also, unlike a savings account where you can draw the balance down to nothing, a flooded cell, or AGM (which is essentially a flooded cell with the electrolyte suspended in an absorbent mat, a conventional lead acid batter can only be 'withdrawn' to 50% of the total deposit. Once you pass 50% withdrawl, you can damage the battery and if you withdraw more than 50% often, your 'savings account' is closed (the battery failed).

Not insured by the FDIC either.

A very good analogy.

Thanks for all the info,I'll assume the batteries are 2 100 amp hour .When camper is back home will verify the battery amps.

Measure the length of the batteries... 10 3/4 " = Group 24
12 1/2 = Group 27
13 = Group 31 ..... give or take 1/4 " on each.

Group 24 will provide 66-75 amp hours
Group 27 will provide 85-95
Group 31 will provide 100-110
typically depending on mfr. test methods...anything greater in each side is likely marketing dept. lies.

Doubtful that you have 200amp hours...most likely 150 to 180.

Thanks Cam, great info sure appreciate.

They could be GC2 6V batteries...how are they wired? Series or parallel?

[model71]

Hi AB, the batteries are 12 volt. good thought though.

What brand/model? Is CCC / CC (cranking amps) listed or is AH (amp hours) listed? And what is the CC or AH?
