Solar & batteries ...
The house battery in our Livin Lite truck camper has died after about 3.5 years of frequent use. Lots of boondocking during which it kept the fridge, LED lights, water pump, ... running for about 3-4...

We went boondocking with the new setup this past weekend. We charged the laptop and ipad during the day time and the solar kept the batteries full. By the time we went to bed each day, the battery level; as indicated on the solar controller; showed 12.7V.
This morning, with the camper parked at our house and nothing being in use, the gas detector started beeping. (we heard it from inside the house so went to check it out)
Since nothing was turned on, I thought perhaps battery fumes being responsible? Is this possible?
I checked the solar controller and it showed the solar charging the batteries at 14.4V. This sounds high?
Thanks.
