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...

Well, it's been an interesting week watching the twins get their sulfating removed and top charging them. Special thanks to NinerBikes for the use of his Diehard battery charger. It was tough giving it back to him today.
The batteries are back in the MH now awaiting our next trip. Only time will tell what condition they will be in upon my return and whether I can top charge them as before with my solar. Not spending any $ for a charger at this time.
I will use the Xantrex battery monitor to keep close tabs on the amp consumption and recharging. Want to see what the amp capacity is after this 6 day ordeal.
