When to replace 6v batteries
When testing my 5er 6v batteries,I charge them for 12hrs on my home Battery charger,then disconnect them..the surface voltage is 12.8v after 4hrs its down to 12.5 and after 8hrs it sits at 12.2 for 2d...

I'm of the what seems to be the minority camp here. I do not baby sit my batteries other than keeping the acid levels up. I just let the converter handle it. Been doing that with two TTs and three different converter brands... WFCO was replaced due to never going into float.. 13.6 at 115 degrees in Phoenix is not a good match.
I use the 6 volts because they last lot longer for me than the 12s ever did. I never had a 12 make it's second birthday. 5 years is pretty normal for the sixes. Maybe I could squeeze some more out of them with better life support, but with Costco selling them so cheap... I have better things to do.
