OK, went and bought a brand new battery, other battery was 4 years old and silly me forgot to disconnect when winterizing.
Anyway, it boiled dry, ****! Needless to say it was shot! Usually I disconnect and store in garage with a battery tender on it.
ANYWAYS, installed a new battery (went from a group 24 to a group 29) then went on a 4 day trip. Was at a campsite that had electric
hook-up, which I used for 4 days..... now my questions is when hooked up to electric, should I have a disconnect switch and turn off juice to battery while camping? Then turn back on when ready to hit the road?
The reason I ask, when I got back home and parked the RV and plugged it in to electric for not quite a week, I went out to disconnect it and store
in the garage.... I'll be **** if the battery was warm and needed water! Went ahead and took it out and added water and it's shows fully charge and holding! YEA! Don't know if it started out low on water when I bought it or not, should of checked!
Is this normal for the on board charger do this in a less than 2 weeks time?
Thanks in advance for any info on this from the experienced people here!
