House Battery Not Holding Charge , Bad Battery or Converter Issue?

Question

Hi everyone,&nbsp;I’m having an issue with my RV house battery not holding a charge for very long. Even after being plugged into shore power overnight, the battery seems to drain pretty quickly once I disconnect.Lights dim faster than expected, and basic 12V usage doesn’t last long at allI’m trying to figure out whether this is:A weak/aging batteryA converter not charging properlyOr possibly something else in the systemI haven’t done detailed testing yet, but I’m planning to check voltage soon.Has anyone experienced something similar? What would you check first in this situation?Any guidance would be really appreciated

You really need to get a battery tester to start, it's more than just voltage, need to check on a load and see what the condition of the batteries are...

Typically a battery that won't hold a charge is a bad battery, either from age or being discharged so low the capacity is diminished. But yeah, you'll have to have it tested.&nbsp;

You just asked the same question twice. Save a little power from charging your phone by not repairing yourself?
