Charging Battery?
I just got my new Puma 23FB and drove it home on Dec 29th, about 750 miles. Does the TT battery charge while I'm driving? I've plugged in the TT in storage and the battery shows fully charged while...

Good idea to find out if the battery is still good. They only last 5 years or so at best and draining below 50% shortens the life every time.
That voltage chart shown in one of the posts is very useful but it only works when there has been no charging for more than 8 hours. The voltage normally is artificially high for hours after charging. I have a half amp battery maintainer on one of my vehicles and the battery voltage is over 14 after I disconnect it.
I would start with a voltmeter to check the charging. When connected to shore power or to the truck with engine running, the voltage at the battery should be over 14 for useful charging.
