I am getting ready to replace the original battery in our 2018 Keystone Cougar 24SABWE TT. I have decided to go with two of the Duracell Golf Cart GC2 batteries, $97 each at our local Sam's Club, plus core charge, I am sure. I ordered a new box from Amazon that will fit two of these.
Our trailer has a WFCO converter, model number WF8955. According to the specs it has automatic three-stage charging with output voltage modes of 13.2 VDC range “float” mode, 13.6 VDC range “absorption” mode, and a 14.4 VDC range “bulk” charge mode. Anything to be aware of with this type of converter and my proposed battery configuration? Also, any suggestions on which cable to purchase for connected the batteries in series? I want something solid.
The inside 'control panel' has indicators that shows battery status with just simple lights (E, 1/4, 1/2 etc). This is obviously pretty useless. Any suggestions on an easy fix to add a battery monitor of some sorts without having to do major rewiring? My handyman, who works as a small airplane mechanic, will be helping me with this so I won't burn the trailer to the ground.
As always, super-thankful for any and all input.
