Confusion on battery charging
I am confused about the best practices for charging batteries. For 7 years I had 300 AH of Lifeline AGM batteries, 270 watts of solar and a simple charging system. My old camper has a 110 volt c...

Because of limited sun, 14.4 is ideal but at the end of the day you must see no greater amount of charge going into the 2 batteries than one single ampere. You don't need to see this every day but once every 7-10 days is vital.
Schedule tasks and loads to have a "light drawdown day" or increase the panel wattage total. Whatever it takes. This is gospel from Concorde Lifeline and I have verified that it is not a trivial fact.
This stops loss of capacity over time and will vastly prolong the life of the Lifeline battery. At 14.4 volts one half ampere per battery.
