Lead Acid Battery - 2 Cells No Float

A camping buddy has 4 6s in a tray, but he can't pull the tray all the way out to expose the back 6s. Makes it awkward. In our C, I have an outside compartment that is meant for skis I believe. I can carry lots of batts in there and just need to route wires to the power centre above there. The power centre is under a dinette seat. Not far for a wire length.

You might find a way to carry batts in the MH. You can put "cable hatches" in the outside compartment door as a vent, so you can still lock the door (see that photo earlier with the cable hatch in the door and wires all over the place :) )

Well we do have some basement room... the DW was hoping to fill with all kinds of camping gear. Not one of them close to the current tray nor power center. But that's what expensive, long 4/0 cables are for! So maybe I should pick up coupla' pair a' L-16s like mena did and call it good!

But I thought we determined capacity was no longer king when usable solar wattage became a thing. Virtually impossible to equalize without a lot of generator time and so forth.

But yeah. Your buddy's tray sounds like mine. It's currently very difficult to dip the rear 29. And a taller version of it (T-1275) will only make things worse in that regard.

Rhetorical question alert!

So what does it mean when the 1093 takes the offender down to 6 1/2 Amps... hovers there for awhile... then begins to slowly climb over several hours... and continues to do so until it's at 10... then 11... then 12... and now 13 something?

Progress, perhaps?

It's 59F out there right now, so she's chugging along at about 14.9V. I'm figuring better to go easy on the healthy 4 cells at this voltage rather than pound the whole unit with The Beast. Maybe by morning she'll have finished the soft equalizing and I can reassess.
