Direct Charge Circuit

My MH is winterized now and 1200 mis away. But if I remember correctly after a week of dry camping my chassis batteries were depleted about 30% and the 2 6v house batteries were 50%. Voltage at house batteries were 14.1 v and house were at 13.7 or 13.8 v. On a 5 hr drive home at 60 mph I was reading about 5.5 amps going into the house batteries. Would a voltage drop of .3 v cause this?

Normal at the end of the drive. Initially the amps should have been higher. 6 amps would not be enough to immediately increase voltage from 12.4 to 13.8. But you are only down 30% so the charge will slow as you get above 80%. RJ is talking initial amps when the battery is way low. And if I know RJ he says 50% but they are probably even a little more discharged.

Another good reason to have 200+ watts of solar going direct on the house battery.
