OK on the zamp controller.. Thats a start.. Now what are the brand panel? Watts and volts?
Take a pic of your electrical panel in the coach..
We can help but you will need to do some upgrades Im sure. We can get you there..
IMO your batterys may not be bad..
If you could charge them with a separate charger and equalize them they may come back to life...
You must equalize at 15.3 volts. Let them rest then take hydrometer readings. If all cells dont match equilize again for 20 minutes.
You need to charge your batts and get a hydrometer reading to determine how the cells are ..Unless you do that your guessing..
In the meantime forget about batterys for now. Dont waste your money on expensive batterys. You need to fix your charging issue that we think you have first. Otherwise any batts you install will die a slow death..
Mike - the panels and entire system is from Zamp Solar. Looking at their site I can see I have two, 160 watt panels for a total of 320 watts. The syetm comes with the panels, wires and controller. When you say "electrical panel", what are you referring to? Below are pics of the Zamp site, the Inverter remote inside my coach that can read a lot of information on the batteries and the EMS meter. Does that help?
