Batteries, Charging System, Solar, etc.

The Phoenix Forum has had several threads relating to RV electrical systems and components which are topics of interest to me.  I found the links listed below on another RV site and by exploring deeper found they contain additional information that some forum members may find useful.  The articles are written by a marine electrician and contain practical information that is applicable to RVs and was garnered from years of actual experience.  Some of the articles go into considerable depth.  I include the links here in case there is interest in these topics.

This link provides information on different battery types such as gel, AGM, lead/acid etc.  It also discusses deep cycle, starting, marine hybrid , and 6 and 12 volt batteries.

This link covers various electrical topics including battery use and charge monitoring meters.  Some topics are marine specific but most apply to RVs as well.
