Trojan SCS 200 Equilazation Follow Up
I posted this a while back: "What power supply current capacity would be required to equalize a single Trojan SCS 200 (Gr 27) 12V battery @ recommended 16.1 VDC?" Since that post our trailer was...

So the plan with one good 27 was to go off grid for two or three weeks and use the little gen to recharge the battery via the Rv's converter (whatever it is) ?
So you must be near enough to civilization to buy gasoline for that generator. That means maybe near enough to get a new battery if that one fails utterly. (Not likely--it just will have fewer AHs than when new. You might not even notice the difference.)
I would still take two 12v batts to save on gen gas. You could be running the gen to make 20 amps the one battery can take at its SOC instead of 40 amps the two could take for about the same gas use? (I have not done an exact comparison)
I edited that to account for a 1000W gen being only able to run a little more than 40 amps worth of charger.
