I have a Tuscany 34ST equipped with 4 Lifeline AGM batteries. Each is rated at 220 amp hours. Two are connected in series, 2 pairs in parallel. It is a 12v system. If I understand it I should have approx 440 amp hours. When dry camping; I charge my batteries for 2-3 hours ending at approx 8 pm. At 9 pm, my Magnum meter shows inverting DC 12.5v - 2a (can be up to 7a if the electric refrigerator is running). I have everything turned off (that I can turn off). No lites used, no heater, no water pump left on. By 0700 the next morning it is displaying Inverting DC 11.5v -2a. By 9 am my AGS system is auto starting the generator. How long should my batteries be lasting at a 2-5a rate? The dealer tells me I should be able to watch TV and use lites with no problem- Not. I also have 3 solar panels that charge quickly during the day, however by 5 or 6 pm (depending on how long the sun hits the panels, usually until around 3 pm) I am back to the low voltage. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance
