No Maintenance Coach Barttery
My coach battery is on a pull out slide that is almost impossible to pull out far enough to check or add water to the back cells. It's 6-yrs old, doesn't hold a charge, and I want to have it replaced ...

according to Mexi's previous posts
charge at 14.4 until charge rate drops below 1% of ampHr capacity
aka 500ampHr bank charge at 14.4 until amps in are 5amps or less
then turn off charger until next charge cycle
If possible charging current of a bank with an SOC of 70% or less
should be c/5 aka 20% of capacity, in this example try for a starting rate of 100amps end at 5amps
this negates the need of the 'equalization conditioning charge'
my PD70 will only do about 12% of my 675 ampHr bank
but since i need the genny for the A/C i am charging until full
this winter, the charging profile will change some, but so will my overnight use
