RV house batteries take the most abuse of any component in the rig - they're discharged, recharged, left sitting for months, and expected to power everything from the AC fan motor to the water pump. In Florida's heat, battery life is shorter than in Northern states. Most flooded lead-acid deep cycle batteries last 3 to 5 years in regular use.

The hidden battery killer in Florida is storage in heat. A battery bank stored in an RV sitting in an Apopka driveway in August, without being connected to a trickle charger or shore power, can sulfate and lose capacity in a single summer. We see a surge of battery failure calls every fall when RV owners reconnect after summer storage.

How We Test RV Batteries

Visual inspection for swelling, corrosion, and electrolyte level
Open circuit voltage test (12.6V = fully charged, below 12V = discharged)
Load test - put the battery under actual load and measure voltage drop
This load test is the only reliable way to identify a battery with reduced capacity that appears good at rest

Battery Types We Install

We install Group 27 and Group 31 flooded lead-acid deep cycle batteries (most common, lowest upfront cost), AGM (absorbed glass mat) batteries that don't require maintenance and handle higher charge/discharge rates better, and we can advise on lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery bank installations when customers want the best long-term performance. We carry the most common sizes in our service vehicles for same-day replacement.

Service area: Apopka, Longwood, Casselberry, Altamonte Springs, Sanford, Lake Mary, DeLand, Deltona, DeBary, Mount Dora, Tavares, Leesburg, and all surrounding communities in Orange, Seminole, Lake, and Volusia counties.

FAQ

Common Questions

How long do RV batteries last?

Flooded lead-acid deep cycle batteries typically last 3 to 5 years with proper use and maintenance. AGM batteries last 4 to 7 years. Lithium batteries can last 10+ years. In Florida's heat with summer storage, actual lifespans can be shorter without proper maintenance charging.

How many house batteries does my RV need?

Travel trailers and fifth wheels typically have 1 to 2 house batteries. Class A and Class C motorhomes often have 2 to 4 batteries. The number depends on your boondocking needs. More batteries = more capacity for off-grid use.

Should I upgrade to AGM batteries?

AGM is a worthwhile upgrade if you dry camp regularly, have solar, or store your RV for extended periods. AGM batteries don't need water maintenance and handle irregular charging cycles better than flooded batteries.

What is battery sulfation?

Sulfation is a chemical process that reduces battery capacity when a lead-acid battery is left in a discharged state. It's the most common cause of premature battery failure in stored RVs. A battery maintainer (trickle charger) prevents sulfation during storage.
