Batteries not holding charge ???

I did plug into power about every 2 months, have not tested the batteries. Thanks

Idiot lights are for the salesman to explain what a great charging system the RV has...

Buy a digital voltmeter for $10-20. With a dishcarged battery the battery voltage at the battery terminals should ramp up to 14.4V (bulk charging), then hold at 14.4V while the amps taper down (absorb charging) and then volts and amps taper down to float mode of 13.6V.

There are many posts on chargers that don't charge correctly especially WFCO and many have replaced that alleged charger.

If the plates are not completely covered with water the batteries are compromised. Have the batteries load tested by a good battery shop, an auto store is not a good battery shop.

I am sure you checked the water in the batteries?

It's not unusual for acid batteries to lose capacity much faster than you think. Do you work them pretty hard?

Solar makes keeping batteries charged so easy. My TT is neither on the 300 watt roof main system or, when covered, on the 30 watt panel on top of my cover.

Nothing is on. Thanks

You don't happen to have a storage bay light that got on by mistake, or something that's drawing power?
