House batteries off gassing with Tripp Lite
Hi everyone, I have a 2005 Chinook with a Tripp Lite charger/inverter model 612. Both of my Wal Mart Everstart group 27 batteries have a terrible smell. All the settings on the Tripp Lite are correct...

There are two group 27 batteries. Both were low on water, earlier today I added a gallon of distilled water to both.
Tomorrow I will check to see what type of deep cycle they are. I'm probably better off with two Trojan T105's.
Gallon of water between both?
Yeah, those batteries are toast, not going to get much recovery from those, they will be heavily damaged.
IF your setup is really providing 13.2V during storage AND you are REGULARLY CHECKING THE WATER LEVEL you shouldn't need to be adding that much water at one time.
I guess you never check the water levels?
Should never let the water go below the plates.
My two 6V GC batts are going on 10 yrs old and the most water I have had to add was 1 quart between both batteries in ONE YEAR.
Check mine once in the Spring and once in the Fall but I DO have a 3 stage converter.
