USA Senior Member Joined: 08/06/2002 View Profile Posted: 09/19/09 04:43pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I decided I need to service my house batteries, the other day. We will be going to a stock car race in a couple weeks and will be dry camping in the parking lot for a couple days. Servicing these batteries is a real pita as the coach was only designed for two 12V batteries. I wanted four 6 volt golf cart batteries for the added capacity. The generator is ok but I really don't want to run it all day and half the night. I had to remake the battery tray and in doing this, the back two batteries were hidden under the floor. The only way to access them is to remove the front two and slide them forward. I knew if I got a socket in there and forced the issue, it would break the terminal off, making the batteries useless, so I wound up grabbing a hack saw blade and cutting the cable. Working in an area with only two inches of clearance and charged batteries was fatiguing, but I finally got them out. The four batteries took a total on 1 gallon of water. I got two new cables and put then back in. Before I removed them I had checked the battery bank voltage and it was only reading 11.9 volts and the break out. Without charging the bank, I checked it again, after cleaning and servicing the batteries and cables, and the voltage was 12.6 volts.....H..MM...MMMMMM. IT seems that I must have had a really bad connection. I plugged in the coach and let the bank charge, overnight. The biggest, noticeable difference is that the lights are now just as bright when on the batteries as they are when the coach is plugged in, and the fans don't slow down when you switch off the convertor.....Good Deal!!!.....I'm ready for dry camping. I may even test everything out at the rally by shutting off the power and just running off the batteries.....AND MAYBE NOT....LOL hottubkid • View posts SCHAUMBURG,IL Senior Member Joined: 12/29/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 09/19/09 11:38pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I know your situation and clean the connections about twice a year because of it. chrisnpat • View posts Gurnee,Il Senior Member Joined: 06/11/2004 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Posted: 09/20/09 04:39pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Does anyone know what your bringing for the potluck Saturday night?
