And there's your biggest issue ... probably wired with way too much 6 gauge to get to the battery location and almost for sure never bulk charges at it's advertised 14.4 volts. It's the same problem I and just about every other WFCO owner has :M ... I solved mine by turning the darned thing off and instead using a portable charger that does do a proper 14.4 volt bulk charge and is wired directly to the battery with 6' of 4 gauge.
Fact is, charger and battery are directly related - buy a Trojan and you're going to want to bulk charge at 14.8 volts, buy a Deka AGM and you'll want temperature compensated charging which almost no converter / charger is capable of. Getting the most out of whatever batteries you buy isn't just a matter of comparing battery to battery but also matching those batteries to the charger you intend to use to maintain them. Ignore it and you can bet you'll be replacing those batteries sooner rather than later. :(
