Its been suggested my house batteries may be bad Not quite sure what bad entails but I agree that could be my problem
With batteries connected in MH I tested voltage with a voltmeter & got a reading of 12.2 All test points I tested I got a reading of 12. 2 except on output side of converter I got a reading of 13.6 I pulled battery & had it tested & was told it was good Not sure what good entails Returned home 7 put a charger on battery was 3 hours & then checked voltage & got a reading of 6.42 but waited a few minutes & then voltage went down to 6.18 I'm told this is good but as I understand 12.6 is a fully charged battery when 2 6 volt are connected in series With the battery I pulled & charged & got a reading of 6.18 how do I get to 12.6 when I only get 6.18 x 2 or 12.36 I'm told batteries determinate over time & I can understand that but I'm trying to determine why my batteries when hooked up in my MH are not charging Maybe its just my batteries???? Plan on taking battery back to Napa Auto & they are going to load test it At this point I'm really confused Please don't laugh
