Battery charge controllers
Just purchased a 28' travel trailer w 2 6 volt golf cart batteries the previous owner converted to dual 6 volt over 12 volt. The problem is when left connected to 110 house current the batteries over...

You two---First it was freezing water pipes (another thread) and now it's overcharged batteries. Hopefully, one of you will learn that differences in opinion aren't terrible and debating personal issues only derails the thread.
The OP hasn't returned so I'd assume that he has resolved a possible non-issue and is happily charging his batteries. If anyone is concerned about over charging their own batteries, the battery Mfg's have all of that data available. IME, over charging two 6V's in series is difficult. Trojan, for instance, specifies a 15 V charge profile. If a battery is charged fully, keeping charge voltage below 13.6 V would not injure a battery. It might use some water over a period of time but that is typical. A battery will only draw as much current as it needs.
