New Starter Battery

In April, 2014 I barely got the RV started at the storage area so a new battery was in order.

I removed the old battery and the battery tray. The tray was badly corroded. My son spent several hours wearing a respirator with a drill and sandpaper taking all of the corrosion off of it. He did a very good job.



I put several coats of paint on the battery tray and then reinstalled it.



I switched from a side post battery to a top post battery. I did not want to have to change out the terminals on the RV so I used battery terminal covers to get the new battery to fit the old terminals.



We have had no starting problems since the battery replacement.

The battery was from Costco and the job cost around $100.
