battery charging
we found that campin connected to the shoreline - well the battery still ran down.
so we bought a little Trick-L-start thing and since then (2006) the battery starts the motorhome.
over winter we used to disconnect the MH batteries from the MH and use a Ctek to maintain the batteries. all 3 joined in parralel.
now we store it where we can leave the MH plugged in all winter in southern BC mild climate (usually).
then we read in the manual...NOTE: We do not recommend leaving the
shoreline plugged in continuously during
storage periods because the batteries
can lose electrolytic fluids and become
damaged from continuous charging
without periodic use or maintenance.
We recommend following regular battery
inspection and maintenance, especially
in cold weather.
any ideas? what is the worst that can happen to the new this year batteries?
the deep cell are maintainable the starter is no maintenance.
thanks all
