I took my boys fishing Fontenelle Reservoir in southwest Wyoming over the past several days and wanted to give my opinion on the batteries that I recently put in my trailer.
In July I bought 2 Energizer EGC2-122 (6V/232 amp hour) batteries from Sam's Club. I have taken the trailer out a couple of times since I bought them but only for a couple of days at a time. We spent 5 days and 4 nights in camp with no ability to recharge the batteries (I don't have a generator or solar panels, yet.) I was nervous about them lasting the trip so I tried to be as conservative as possible and as much as 2 young boys will allow. The highs were in the 50's and 60's but the lows were in the low to mid 20's and it felt it for sure. I kept the thermostat low at night while we slept so as to not kill my power, but ever being conservative the furnace ran quite a bit. I have a Mr Heater that I run inside the trailer in the morning to warm things up and that helped to take the chill off. After I got camp set up the batteries were sitting at 12.7 vdc and yesterday just as I was pulling out I measured them again and they were at 12.2 vdc. Not bad at all in my opinion. Granted, I am not using the power that some use. I tried to use the lights as little as possible, but the we did run the radio in the trailer about 4-5 hours a day and I was half convinced my boys were going to wear out the water pump--we are still working on showing them how to not turn the water on full blast to wash their hands. So all-in-all, I would recommend these batteries to anyone that may be looking.
I am going to look into a solar panel kit. It would have been nice to have kept the trailer warmer and knowing that they will get some sort of recharge throughout the day. I guess I'll put that on my letter to Santa.
It was a great trip for Father and Sons. I think I may have an issue with the thermostat in the truck but other than that I have nothing to complain about.
Here is a picture of my youngest son and his 19" rainbow. Kind of makes it all worth it.
