Battery Storage Recommendation In A Nutshell
A quality RV battery maintenance charger
- Charge batteries to 100% capacity before storage
- Batteries MUST BE physically disconnected by removing a ground cable or switching off the main power with a battery disconnect switch
- Point #2 above is critical. Newer RV's have dozens and dozens of gizmos aboard that can malfunction and overwhelm a maintenance charger's best effort
- Purchase a quality battery maintenance charger like the one referred to in the link below
- Check periodically during storage that the AC house power to the charger has not been switched off, cut, or disconnected.
