What is the make/model of your battery charger?
You need to get the proper battery charging specs for your batteries and then try and determine if that H.F. charger will properly charge your batteries.
My Xantrex Freedom charging configuration for wet cell batteries will NOT fully charge my four Interstate batteries. I checked them with a battery hydrometer after the Xantrex went to float. Not fully charged!
Got the proper charge specs from Interstate and punched them into my charge controller and now my batteries show charged using hydrometer.
The main issue was the adsorb voltage, not high enough on the Xantrex!
If I had a $ for every RV that was improperly charging their house batteries id be driving around in a Tesla!
