Just another point. If you have 2 AGM batteries rated at 12.8 volts in the TC and a regular lead acid battery rated at 12.6 volts in the truck. It is possible that the AGM's may be fooling your voltage regulator with the different voltage rated batteries. I have all AGM batteries in the TC and the truck, trying to better match the whole electrical system for 12.8 volts.
Another good reason to have a DC-DC charger in the camper. You get the right charging voltage for your camper battery chemistry, and it acts as a battery separator between the truck and camper batteries. The truck charging system doesnโt know its there.

I need to look into the DC to DC Charging System.
One quick question, Is it typically mounted in the truck camper near the batteries or in the engine compartment?

Hi deltabravo,
Because at 85% state of charge, a bank can only accept 12.5 amps per 100 amp-hours of storage. As the bank gets closer and closer to 100% that number drops off--so it may be only 4 amps at 92% state of charge.
That is why no one in their right mind attempts to fully charge a bank from a generator--the run times become huge.
It is true that tapering on charging happens later with AGM jars.
The best thing to do is find an inexpensive campground. Try freecampsites.net
PT you are correct. Today is Sunday and it has taken since Thursday morning to get the battery's fully charged. If one does not have Trimetric or another high tech monitor you will not know when they are fully charged. When fully charged the Trimeteric will read 0.00 which means no more amps are needed to charge the battery's. Now it will be on maintance, float whatever you want to call it.
Those plug in and a multimeter will not show when the bank is fully saturated.deltabravo wrote:
Why would it take more than 3 hours to charge that size battery bank?

I ran the genset for three hours knowing it was not going to recharge the batterys in that amount of time.
