What size battery for a 2010 Silver Shadow?

Postby bradp » Tue Jun 15, 2010 7:23 am

Not knowing much about 12v systems I have a question. I am going to buy a new Silver Shadow this fall and I was telling my father inlaw about it, he has a slide in truck camper with a 12v system. Anyway when I told him about the size battery on the Silver Shadow which is a 29 amphour battery he said "you might want to get a bigger battery that will last longer". So my question is what do I get that will work with the wiring and inverter that comes on the trailer? I haven't asked the folks at Little Guy yet, thought I would run it by here first.
Any thoughts?

Brad, to determine what size battery you need, you need a good idea of what kinda usage you will be doing...the one you list will provide lights and MAYBE a little extra over a weekend but won't power a lot of those extras...if you boony camp, you might just want a bigger battery...if you campground camp where there is shore power available, you can probably get by just fine with what you have........
