Winter Storage Question
I will be putting my TH away for the winter in 3 weeks. This past spring I had a solar system with a pair of 12V 260 Ah AGM batteries installed which have served us well this past season. I plan to cover the RV over the winter but was wondering what would be the best way to keep the batteries properly conditioned during the 4 - 5 months the solar panels are covered? The RV will be stored at my house with power nearby. The converter that came on it is a WFCO 90 I believe. Would it be best to disconnect the batteries once the solar panels are covered or just plug in to the electrical outlet and let the converter take care of keeping them charged? I have read so many bad things on this forum about the WFCO converters, I am unsure which would be the proper way to maintain the batteries best. BTW - the batteries will have to stay in place over the winter since they weigh 163# each.
