  House Batteries

  Posted by Tim on October 29, 2016 at 8:46 pm

  If you fully charge your batteries at night, then dry camp overnight and wake up to travel and your batteries still show 24.5v, and then you travel for the day, which then charges your batteries back at 28v (at least mine) when you stop, do you need to start the generator to charge the house batteries? Or would you charge them in the morning & continue to run the generator while traveling or, wait until you stop for the day, even if you’re batteries are showing 28v when you stop?

  Since my Marathon has a 270amp alternator, which charges my batteries while traveling, I’m just trying to figure if I need to start the generator under the situation above to ensure a longer life for my batteries.
