WOOHOO!! New Batteries!
Well, after 9 years of faithful service, and one too many times being allowed to boil dry, not to mention twice being run into the ground, the trailer's battery bank (4 Trojan T-105 6V batteries) fina...

I do question those 14.8v PDs as such, although that is better than 14.4 to meet the Trojan 14.8 spec at 25C temperature.

I wonder if that Trojan 14.8V value is all that ... precise? Necessary?
My US batterie specs say 2.45+-0.05V per cell, or 14.4 to 15.0V
Can't find much for my Duracell GC2s. If they're Deka, maybe 2.40-2.45V per cell, or 14.4 to 14.7V ?
Same with float voltages. Many folks just disconnect the batts and recharge every month or so when not using them. Seems to work ok. As long as the float voltage isn't too high and bubbling the batts? It's not the WFCO's 13.6V that kills batts, it's the lack of anything higher to charge them fully.
