Oh yea, we purchased our EKKO from NIRVC for Las Vegas. What a facility! Great people.

Glad to hear that!

Thanks for posting. We bought a 2024 Ekko and when it's plugged into shore power, the battery loses its charge. We turned off the fridge, the external fridge, water pumps, lights etc and while it's plugged in, it loses about a volt an hour. Solar works and alternator works so it hasn't died on the road, but when it's garaged, it's a problem. I got a recall notice but it says the manufacturer hasn't figured out a repair yet, so I'm not sure if it's related to our problem, Any ideas?

I may have missed you saying it, but how were you getting +180A? Do you have a DC-to-DC charger as well? I'm only seeing up to about 80A

[@richardburguillos3118]

I’m betting a single battery. Dual would be 90 amps net battery…. Or… he indeed has a DC-to-DC converter as well. Now… of the Balmar was completely replace with the new system there using now on the SprEKKO… I’m jealous.

@@richardburguillos3118 you’re right about the single battery. Noticed that in the part he showed the battery compartment.

[@thebrewerylovers1627]

no dc/dc , single batt

[@richardburguillos3118]

Nice overview. I’m also curious about the high amperage readings. Do you have one or two batteries? Also, did they replace the complete Balmar system with another brand / manufacture?

[@thebrewerylovers1627]

Still Balmar, just new components. One battery.
