Trailer Batteries. Easy to steal.

[Zipp]

Yup, I just had my battery taken last week too. Bastards. It was a 12 volt and worked ok. Can anyone suggest a replacement battery and bussiness in the Edmonton area thats resonable? Is the 2 - 6V setup better than 1 - 12V? Not sure of what to look for. Thanks for any advice.

2 x 6's have more capacity then 1 x 12v....and slightly more than 2 x 12's, depending on size.

2 x6's is the way to go. My batts will run my lights and my pump and furnace for a weekend no problem. My 12v would barely get me a night

Solar panels, charge forever

so does a honda generator, and as a side bonus they will run pretty much anything you have in your trailer, plus any other electric tools you may choose to bring, like a log spitter. let me know how you make out on that with a solar panel on a rainy cloudy day. lol

only the fire putter outer guy takes an electric log splitter.............he probably even has spare batteries hidden away somewhere

An electric log splitter is the way to go in any camping situation especially hunting camp.

Yes I take a booster battery along. Just incase a vehicle battery goes dead...

Bobs Ford battery was dead from his cell booster that was on for 4 days.

So what size of honda generator is required to run my electric wood splitter?. my wife seems to get a bit cranky when I ask her when will she will be making time to split all the wood.

I run mine off the toyhauler. I know it has no problem. 5500 onan

 

[imdoo'n]

3000 will run it, no problem

 

[LUCKY 7]

so my 2000 won't?

 

[arff]

so my 2000 won'tt ?

The initial start on the log splitter motor takes the most power. I don't think it will.

try it and see, i think they need 13 amp?

Thanks I was not sure....

 

[imdoo'n]

just checked, both the 4 ton and 5 ton splitters are listed as 15 amp.

Thanks for checking. Your such a nice guy.

We tried my 110 volt welder on a Honda 2000 and the initial start up is just too much for the generator, a 3000 would have been good. as it has been said try it, but I think the initial surge is a bit much for a 2000 watt unit.
