My Alpenlite is 5 years old bought new from the factory. I haven't given much thought to the 6 coach batteries or my 1 solar panel and everything seems to be fine.equalizing... something I shouldn't do now? (The manual calls it Equalizing Charge Mode and recommends doing this once a year.)
Interesting setup. The coach came with 6 batteries? 1 solar panel is way underkill for that many batteries. From what I read equalizing should be done more frequently, like once a month.
Now, if you don't boondock much and don't discharge the batteries much, no, you probably don't need to equalize. OTOH, 5 years is getting up there for battery life.
