battery charging

This weekend, after a long hiatus we took our travel trailer out for a short trip. Connected to shore power at the campground and late in the second day came back to our rig with a big puddle under the battery, steam venting, and nasty hydrogen sulfide smells. Clearly the battery is overcharged...

When you want to connect an external charger to your batteries and you have two of them in parallel, do you connect both the black and red to the neg and pos of the first battery or should you connect the red+ to the first battery and the black- to the second battery? Sorry, realized this...

Good afternoon everyone. I am looking for some guidance with what Is the best option for maintaining charge on my 2 12v batteries. I have plenty of friends who take there batteries out and have them trickle charge between trips. Others, who charge them via solar without ever having to remove...

I replaced my converter and installed a new 12 V fuse block. Everything that was working (bath fan seems to be toast) before is still working. I left the converter plugged in overnight to check the three-stage charging and didn't think to check voltage at the battery till this morning. It...

A friend with a 19' Escape told me that rather than bring his batteries indoors, he just leaves his trailer plugged in all the time when at home. He says that provides a trickle charge to the battery and keeps it fully charged. Is this true? We live in a relatively mild climate all year round...

Hello, I need some help on a battery charging problem. I just bought this used 2011 19 foot. When I checked the batteries the other day I had to add water as the plates we exposed. Then I plugged in for several days. The battery seemed to power the front jack well for our first trip. Now...

2017 19' 160w solar. Eagle, ID. Dual 6v wet cell. No current used except the about 0.18amp dark current (and about 0.002amp instrumentation), which is drawn unless the main battery switch is turned off. Trailer parked, and this graph is typical of the day-to-day charging with only the dark...
