Isata 5 long term storage

[Spike4321]

What is the correct procedure for storing a 2020 Isata 5 for a long period of time. I have searched the forum & on line videos but can't find a definitive procedure and I don't see anything in the owners manual.

The RV will be stored at a sight that does not have any shore power for several months.

Thanks

If you have no power then about your only choice is to disconnect the battery using the red rotary switch in the battery tray. If you get any light at your storage, your solar will continue to charge even with the battery disconnect engaged as they are tied directly to the batteries.

Looks like the red rotary switch in the battery compartment is the answer.


It would still be good if there was a single definitive procedure from Dynamax and that information was in the owners manual or in the factory videos. I really apricate the forums but sometimes its hard to separate the wheat and chaff.

It would be good, but there is really no definitive single way that anyone would like.

Solar? is it indoor or outdoor storage in that case? Residential fridge or LP fridge? Power hook up or no power hook up?

The single most definitive way is to pull the batteries, connect them to a trickle charger, but most people are not going to want to do that. So 2nd step is to leave them in and connect them to a trickle charger.
