Boondock or hook-ups? There is a distinct difference in terms of battery life.... and other things that don't pertain to this thread.

The post was about WFCO. While I never heard about it before getting my motor -home. It has worked fine since 2003. No reason to knock it.

Since my MH is rarely on shorepower I check batteries for voltage and clamp -on meter for AMPS. Specific gravity checks if needed. I know my systems are working because I check each trip.

I speak only for myself, or maybe for a few others around here, but after boondocking on first 2 separate one week trips, in my mind, I renamed the WFCO company that makes those to WTF Co.

As in WTF were they thinking bulk charge mode is on a charge controller, when industry standard is 14.4 to 14.8V in a bulk mode that actually works.

I've never seen mine charge in bulk mode, 14.8V or charge at above 13.6-13.8V. All I've seen it do is sit in lame mode, sucking all my gas down through my Honda Generator, instead of actually quickly recharging my batteries. But hey, they are cheap, you get what you paid for.
