House batteries not up to ah rating
Bought 2 new Interstate SRM-24 group 24 RV/Marine batteries a few months ago. I have used the MH 4 times on trips lasting from 3-6 days. Never going below 40 amps before recharging. The rating is 85...

Thanks for all the information. I am going out and change the cable configuration as described. Yes, I had the positive and negative on the same battery. My Intelli-power converter charger is supposed to keep the batteries desolated. But I have a 40amp battery charger and will run thru a few desolation cycles. Also, the converter charger is designed to boost at 14.4 volts and I am only getting 13.9 volts because of line loss.
I just bought the Renogy Solar 100 watt suitcase and can equalize the batteries to 15 volts. I can top off the charge to almost that amount too.
It's parallel no matter how you look at it. If you think 4 more inches of cable make a difference you better get bigger cable.
You just don't get it. Read the article . . . Batteries
