MEGAWATT 60-AMP INTRODUCTION

Battery rookie question here. You all kind of beat around the proverbial bush, but what is the most appropriate long term float voltage for 6V GC batteries? I am a weekend warrior and my MH sits most of the time. Hope to one day be full time but that is a long ways away. Hence, my batteries spend a majority of their time on float. I don't have the Mega Watt but I have one of the cheaper ones mentioned in Mex's threads. It is a 30A unit. To date, I have been floating the batteries at 13.0V. I am in Northern Alabama and today the temp is about 40 degrees F. Obviously, I shut off the charging circuit of the inverter/converter unit before hooking up the separate power supply. The subject batteries are the cheapo Costco units and are new within the last couple of months. Total bank size is six 6V batteries. Typically, only use the MegaWatt clone for float.

Thanks,

Greg
