How to Increase Battery Capacity
After spending 10+ years studying RVs prior to buying one I’m amazed at what I still don’t know! Turns out the cure for that is this amazing forum. The latest issue I’m lost about is a LOT more ...

OP here.
The converter is a WFCO model WF8735-P. Says "converter output 13.6V DC, 35A"
If I recall, the threads I was reading said that you needed 14.6 - 14.8V to get 100% charge. I think it said that at 13.6 the best you could get was 90%. If that's true, I would still be better off with a 90% charge of two 6V batteries than what can be gotten from any single 12V battery.
In a previous reply in this thread it was suggested to run a heavy gauge charging line from my truck alternator to the batteries. Does anyone know what output this would have?
Thanks!
