What exactly did you test that made you believe that it was fully charged ?
And what did the voltage read WHILE it was hissing ??
I mean no offense here but the wording of your posts on this subject so far indicates a lack of a good basic understanding about battery and charger systems.
I suggest that you look for the link, which has been posted a hundred times, to the basic tutorial for 12 V systems use and care. I'm sorry but I forget the name; maybe someone will post it for you again.
Failing that, you should take it to an RV repair shop and ask them to do a couple of quick tests and diagnose whether or not there is a problem......and explain to you how the 12 V system works on THAT model.
P.S. Having this same discussion in more than one thread is just confusing to everybody. You should pick ONE and stick with it.
Well I charged the battery, and when It was hookedit read 13.6 and jumped down to 13.4 or so when I turned lights on. The starter battery didn't jump as much but also went down. When it was constantly getting charged by my alternator, at least often, i assumed it was holding charge well. It hissed so I disconnected. I left it untouched and not hooked up for a few days, it reads very low, the battery I am now understanding to be bad., I do lack a good set of vocabulary skills and always have a hard time explaining myself and never been a part of any forum before. The hissing noise sounded very light and just like air being released out of the battery, when researched that, I found that potentially, it could be hydrogen gas leaking out my deep cycle battery. I'm interested in furthering my knowledge on the care of batteries but it's not my main concern, my life is constantly a lesson of new things to learn, but can I bad battery be the cause, or something like a voltage regulator?
