Battery's in store mode.

[sandrooney]

If I have my rv in store mode while plugged into shore power will my 120 outlets still work and can I put my battery's on a tender? I hate the fact that the built in charger just keeps charging and boils the water out of the battery's. My Axis has two house battery's and a chassis battery, if I put a tender on one of the house battery's will it maintain both? I plan to put a separate tender on the chassis battery.
Thanks a lot,
SR

My understanding is if you’re using a battery tender on one of your house batteries it will keep both charged.

I leave my MH plugged in all the time and never boiled them. I do check the water level monthly. Maybe that helps or maybe I am lucky.

Thanks. Mine does boil the water out. I am hoping with a true tender it won't.

I use tenders on my cars, lawn tractor and tractor. The batteries last about twice as long.
