Does It Matter If I Have a Travel Trailer, Fifth Wheel, Motorhome or Camper Van?
Most RVs use the same 12V house system, so the same batteries work across them. The differences are in charging:
• Travel trailers and fifth wheels: charging from the tow vehicle is limited (see question 42).
• Motorhomes: the engine’s alternator can charge your house batteries, but only if its output tops out at 14.6V or below.
• Camper vans: space is tight, so the smaller size and lighter weight of lithium matter most.
Tell our Support Team what you drive and we’ll match a battery to it.
Does the Millertech Auxiliary Battery Have an AC Wall Outlet?
No. It has DC barrel plug output for cameras and USB-A and USB-C ports through the hub. It’s built for USB gear and 12V-style camera power, not for household plug-in appliances. For bigger off-grid power, call our Support Team about Millertech’s larger batteries and inverters.
How Do I Check the Charge Left on My Millertech Auxiliary Battery?
Both the Max 4.0 and the Max 8.0 have a built-in battery usage meter.
How Do I Mount a Millertech Auxiliary Battery on a Tree?
An adjustable mounting strap comes in the box, and the battery has a removable mounting plate. For bigger trees or posts, add the 48" Nylon Strap (Item #1124).
How Do I Recharge My Millertech Auxiliary Battery?
Plug in the battery charger that comes in the box. Need a second charger for the cabin or the truck? The 12.6V 3A AC Charger (Item #1123) and the 12.6V 2A AC Charger (Item #Z3085) are sold separately.
How do I return a battery?
We’ll provide a prepaid UPS shipping label for your return. Simply box up the battery, attach the label, and drop it off at a UPS location.
How Do I Store Lithium Batteries Over the Winter?
To winterize:
• Charge the battery fully.
• Disconnect every load and cable.
• Store it with nothing attached.
LiFePO4 loses only about 1–3% of its charge per month, so it holds charge well over the off-season. Millertech’s “How to Winterize Your Boat’s Millertech Batteries” video walks through it.

How Do I Store My RV Batteries Over the Winter?
- Charge the battery fully.
- Disconnect every load and cable, or leave a solar panel connected with the controller on a lithium setting (see "Can I Leave My Solar Connected While My RV Is in Storage?").
- Store it with nothing else attached.
LiFePO4 loses only about 1% to 3% of its charge per month, so it holds its charge well through the off-season. Millertech's winterizing video walks through it.
How do I wake up a lithium battery in low voltage protection mode?
To wake up a lithium battery in protection mode, use a lithium charger, which is specifically designed to bring the battery out of low voltage protection/sleep mode. If the lithium charger doesn’t work, you can try “jumping” the battery by connecting it to a dedicated jump pack or another battery. Using equipment designed for lithium batteries is the most effective and recommended way to reactivate a battery in protection mode.
How Do I Wire Lithium Batteries for a 36V Trolling Motor?
The simplest way is one 36V battery, which needs no series wiring. If you’re wiring three 12V batteries in series, Millertech allows up to four in a string. Watch the “Series & Parallel Battery Connections 101” video. Torque terminals to 10 ft-lb.
