Just get one of the Flow-Rite kits and keep those batteries in top shape. And they are so cheap, you can keep your kidneys.
The batteries do get thirsty when you are constantly plugged into shore power. I use one of the Dollar Store ketchup bottles which accepts the tubing nicely and you can squeeze the bottle until the batteries are filled.

Does your battery cutoff switch in your photo work? I'm thinking about installing one. Looking @ your photo wondering if it has an insulated spacer or something?

How many people are using the Flow-Rite MP-2000 Qwik-Fill 12V Double RV Battery Watering System to keep the batteries topped off. I would have to remove both batteries to properly fill them. Is there another refill system that you like?

I have installed the MP Flowrite 2000 on my 29M because I did not want to remove my batteries. Pretty easy to install. Works great. I did not check out other systems. Got the Flowrite from Amazon.

Ernie, did you also get the squeeze bulb with your 2000 or do you just pour the water into the hose? You just have to have something for the 29M's.

...Like a charm!
I used to watch my batteries drain down to under 12 volts in less than a week.
Now: I can leave them for a solid Month, and they're pretty near where I left them, when I next check!

I did get the squeeze bulb. I also installed a single battery flowrite system on the chassis battery.
