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...

Wed evening update:
Battery A is 13.08volts and 1.275 across all 6 cells. Think this one is about done.
Battery B is 13.08volts SG is 1.260 to 1.265. Back on charger. No real improvement since yesterday morning.
They are going back into the MH this weekend for a trip.
NinerBikers, hope to get the charger back to you friday, saturday at the latest.
Well done! Reminds me of recovering my "previously enjoyed" T-1275s a couple years ago, which took several months in that case.
This shows that some good can come from "recovery" efforts as long as you have the time
and the right charger(s).
This does not prove it is "worth it", which is another calculation entirely, depending on your personal amount of time and money.
