Do you think a Rolls is going to survive that treatment any better?
I proved it irrefutably in white paper test studies.
But people *refuse* to learn how to recover a battery. They are too lazy to read the free Rolls battery manual download. My crankiness suggests these are the same people who blame schools for not raising their children right.
Paper "studies" often lie, they are often based on theory or flawed/skewed data.
Not saying you are lying, just saying in real life practice, most if not all of those studies are null and void the mere second the rubber hits the road in real life use.
As a reminder, RVs are land based, inconvenience happens but death is much more rare when a RV loses power.
While one can "recover" batteries, over the years I have found that it will never be what it once was once you do something stupid with it.
There are points in time when you have to realize that trying to revive a damaged, dead or dying battery becomes nothing more than traveling down the rabbit hole and the BEST way IS to prevent the need to "recover" a battery is to TAKE BETTER CARE OF THE BATTERY UP FRONT.
There is NO brand name battery which will 100% survive total abuse and recover to 100% of new capacity.. Even if you do recover it, it IS going to have significant loss in capacity.. At that time you just have top pull the plug on life support, regroup with fresh then don't repeat the same process that lead you to that rabbit hole.
Better to TEACH good battery habits on a lower cost battery than to encourage one to buy the most expensive than they destroy that battery in the same time as the previous battery they had.
