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...

Leaving your charger on one battery today for 8 hours at 16v. No heat yet, use temp gun and it's 68.8 degrees F.
Pianotuna, the AGM is too big $ wise. Haven't checked the LWH yet.
Figure out where you want to lose weight, and what is more important, electricity when camping, or something else. Don't know what to tell, you, compromise somewhere? Leave the wife at home? Somethings got to give.
Don't choose arbitrary hours to leave the charger on, it takes what it takes... but if these are 6 months old and doing this, I've got a bad feeling you abused and killed them to the point of no return. Too little, too late.
