On a recent boondock trip,I started with fully charged coach batteries. The first nigh my CO2 detector goes off.The windows are already open, I shut down the LPG.The next morning,aux batteries are completely dead.I have to use the engine to get enough power to start the gen. Ran it 4hrs,but an hour later they were dead. Charged them again, but hit the cut off switch. Couple hours later, guess what, DEAD! Anyone have any ideas?Please

My main likes to die but I just disconnect the neg.terminal. This is the first time I've had a problem with the coach batteries

I'm currently having battery problems myself. I bought a new Gel Cell battery (Chassis Battery) and it won't stay charged? My son told me that Gel Cell batteries are good but you have to use them a lot or you will have charging problems.

OK,I'll try that. Their only 2 years old and this was only the second dry trip.

One of your batteries has an internal failure. Pull all your house batteries and clean them and recharge, see which one fails a rapid discharge check.
