What I learned about maintaining batteries while boondocking
To charge with the onboard or use an external stand alone charger. Here's what I concluded during my week of boondocking. https://youtu.be/IgQTtnEXlU4

Before solar, I used to take my Schumacher SSC1500A along on boondocking (no hook ups) trips. I wasn't sure if the trailers circuitry would handle the higher voltage so I would just wait until it warmed up a bit and disconnected the positive side of the battery from the trailer, then fire up my Honda genny and charge away! Set it on the Large Norm Batts and set it to 15 amps!
It was good to go after for about two more days before needing a charge again (if using the furnace at night). Charge voltage would often go as high as 15.8 during the process.
Now my solar only goes to 14.4,, Might have to go back to carrying the charger again!!
