New 6 volt batteries, problem?
Hey everyone, Hoping for some input on the new battery situation. We have a 2015 class C, about one year old next month. I’ve replaced the converter in my WFCO 8955 with a Progressive Dynamics 9270...

US Battery is known to need 20+ cycles to reach full capacity.
Although voltage does sound low. As long as the electrolyte covers the plates you are fine.
Was the alternator charging the battery in transit?
Is the 12.4 holding well or still dropping while in use?
Thanks, that might just be the case here.
I can confirm there were no loads on the batteries, and wife drove immediately after unplugging. Confirmed alternator is providing charge to house batteries.
When I left the site today at 1:00pm it was at the 12.35-12.4. Wife sent a picture of volt meter at 4:00pm of it at 12.46. Just got here to camp at 6:00pm and it is 12.47v.
A 5 amp load drops down to 12.26v. 8 amp drops to 12.08.
I hope I answered everyone's questons.
The guy I got them from is taking care of me, and said he would replace them if I desire. He got a new, more recent, shipment of 2200's in. He said he would also up me to the US 125 green top for a few more AH if I want. We are already set up so I will keep a close eye on things and see how they go.
Thank you all for your help and input. Any further thoughts are greatly appreciated!
