Battery Upgrade, Installing 2 Trojan T105 6V in my RV Step
As part of my Solar installation, I needed to upgrade my batteries. I would have liked to go to LiFe PO4 but could not justify the cost, so I went with less expensive Trojan T105’s in order to do this I had to modify my battery compartment raising it 1 1/2″ to make room for the added height of the Trojans.
This is what I started with
Due to the extra width of the Trojans, I had to relocate the existing circuit breakers.
Using 2X2 lumber I built a frame around the existing battery compartment.
Then installed the batteries. An added benefit of doing this is my wiring is much neater and maintaining the batteries is much easier.
