How To Charge An RV Battery While Driving?

When people ask how to charge an RV battery on the move, the first thing we need to know is where the electricity comes from.

Types of Power for an RV’s Electrical System

1. Harvest electricity from solar energy
2. Obtain electrical energy from the engine

But the car's battery is usually powered by the engine running, and the daily electricity of the RV is usually not connected to the car engine.

How To Charge RV Batteries Safely & Effectively?

1. Solar power to charge RV batteries
Solar charging is usually suitable for larger vehicles such as RVs, trucks and vans. Because a large enough body can ensure a large enough solar panel installation area, thereby ensuring a large enough solar charging current.

If you just want to use solar energy to charge the car's live battery, then we usually use a solar charge controller, this product is specially designed for solar charging, with higher charging efficiency and smaller installation size. And sometimes lower spec solar charge controllers are more cost effective if charging speed is not a factor.

2. Camper van battery to battery charger
The camper car battery to battery charger means that we need to use the car's battery to charge the battery when the car is running. When the gasoline is sufficient, the battery will not be exhausted. Excessive use will lead to insufficient power.
This charging method often has better stability than solar charging, because solar charging has certain requirements on the weather, and solar charging at night, rainy or cloudy days cannot play a good role.

For the above defects, the CARSPA R&D team recently launched the PBC series battery charger, which can support solar charging and battery-to-battery charging at the same time. Once this product was launched, it has been widely recognized by users in the RV market, which is also the reason why CARSPA can survive in the market for so long. We listen to all the needs of customers and put them into practice to realize the functions that customers need. This is the meaning of our factory existence.
