BTW, we have a modern converter charger but the electrolyte level dropped below the plates over a few months when I forgot to check it when rig was connected to 120 vac power.
That has been my story too. It seems my intelligent Tripp-Lite inverter/converter is not so intelligent. We have owned our rig for 10 years now. I kept the rig plugged into 110V over the winter just that first year, and never did again. I instead charge them a few times during the winter months using a separate smart charger. I feel so much better managing our batteries with it that I use that charger on trips too since we usually don't have shore power, relying on generator power when staying put for a few days or more. It charges much faster than the house converter and nicely steps the charging amperage down as needed, then stops when complete.
