I bought a two decimal point voltmeter from China and connected it to my positive/negative distribution points inside the camper. In the fall, I charge my batteries, park the rig, and disconnect one side of the batteries.
About once a month I go check on things, connect up the batteries, check the voltage, check storage cabinets outside. Been sitting for months now, batteries are at 12.60 still. If I have to, I will take my Honda 2K generator over to it, and run it for an hour.
Me, too. I only need to top up once in the long northern Alberta winter. Mine is parked ten feet from a plugin in our driveway so easy to plug in but it just isn't needed. The solar panel controller leaves the batteries Fully charged so they stay over 12.6 for a long time. When I do top up, I use a variable power supply set to maintain 14.7 volts to get a full charge again.
