First off, my wife is not using her humidifier with her CPAP.
I know 11.8V is not good for the batteries that is what I'm trying to stop happening.
Presently I have no idea the size of the wires from the roof. They are behind a panel in my lower kitchen cabinet.
My Batteries we'll be about 2 to 3 feet from my batteries so that we'll be a short run.
The Zamp controller that I have does have the capability to use a battery t4mperature with sensor with it. It also has capabilties of an remote meter. It also has the capabilities of setting it for different batteries and has 5 levels of charge capacity.
I'm still can't figure out why my 2 GRP27 batteries should drop down to 11.8V just over night. We have a Lithum battery for my wife;s CPAP and it well run her CPAP for 2.5 nights from a full charge. It is a small battery. I really think I have something that is pulling a lot of power that it shouldn't. Also my coach has an absortation fridge and is ran on propane when we are stopped.
I want to be able to dry dock more do I need to be able to run for more than one night. I could set met generator to start up when my batteries drop to a certain level as it has a smart controller that a person can program for all kinds of different things. But who wants a generator to start up in the middle of the night even though it is a quiet diesel and is very quite and can hardly be heard inside the unit.
I know I'll eventually get this figured out but in the mean time I'll still be using the GRP 27 and running them down I guess till I get home and get the bigger battery bank. I really don't care about them as they are just going to be core charge when I buy new batteries.
Thanks for every bodies comments I apprecitate them all/
