2018 Rpod Battery Charging, Better Way?

The reason I put in a cut-off switch was for when I had to take it to have service done and I would be taking it to where it would not be plugged in. When I am home and plugged in, the switch stays on. That way the converter can keep the batteries charged with no worry about self-discharge or remembering to switch it on or plug the 'Pod in periodically to charge them. The only time I pulled them out since we purchased the R-Pod was when it had to go to the factory for repair. I used a regular charger periodically while it was gone to top them off (still leaving them connected  because the charger I was using is 12V, not 6V).

Lots of good advise and all will work. I have a little different twist to keeping the battery charged over long periods of nonuse. I installed a marine style battery cutoff switch next to the battery like many and then hardwired a "battery tender" pigtail end to the battery. A battery tender is always plugged in at home when the rv is not in use. The only reason being over years of rv'ing I've determined most all these systems tend to at times be a bit fragile. By leaving the rv systems off at all times except for when camping I'm "hoping" to get a little more life out of them. Also a side benefit is the pig tail that came with the battery tender can also be used to plug in a portable solar panel and controller once set up. :)   

Originally posted by clickscrazy Yeah, battery cut off switch is on the list. Yes, I do leave it plugged in to my 30Amp normally. I just unplugged it because of a bad storm. On that note, should I still install a cut off switch and have the battery turned off WHILE I am plugged in?

You could use a regular battery charger like for your car, but the converter is made for that purpose and is probably the best way to get the job done. To prevent the battery from discharging again if you unplug it, you could install a battery cut-off switch (see my mods for a picture). However, since you have a 30A receptacle, why not just leave it plugged in? I keep mine plugged into a 15A receptacle because I have not yet gotten a 30A receptacle installed at our house.
