There has been several posts on this forum of members complaining that their van battery/ies are not getting enough charge from the vehicle when travelling, even though they may be driving for several hours between spots. The changing technology of vehicle charging alternators and the different battery chemistry and charge requirements has made this a minefield for today's camper traveller. I note that some members have gone to the expense of purchasing BC to DC chargers to overcome some of these problems, but there are probably quite a few who are ignorant of what is happening to their electrical system and why some are not getting the maximum out of their very expensive AGM or Gel batteries.
Attached are two pages of important information on what is happening in the auto industry and why one should at least be aware of a potential problem. Fortunately, my 2011 RC Colorado does not seem to be in the list of vehicles that are affected, but there are plenty of others on this forum that should be interested in these write-ups.
