We did use the MH for a 2 day shakedown last week. We were plugged in most of the time but did unplug for over an hr to test the inverter. I never saw battery voltage drop below 12.6 although our solar panels were putting out approx 6 amps.
I plan to check the voltage in the morning along with sp gravity. I was planning to take the batteries to an auto parts store for a load test.
Im trying to decide if these batteries are toast and need to be replaced. If they pass all the test tomorrow, can I trust them or is it a lost cause?

If they get a clean bill of health you can fill them and see how they do I guess?? I would recommend to get one of the battery systems that attach to the top of your battery and you can use a little squeeze bulb to fill them every couple of weeks when your using the RV a lot. I forget what they are called but I got one and they are worth their weight in gold. Just put the end of the hose in a gallon of distilled water and fill your batts to the brim and not muss or fuss with a battery water can and scraped knuckles trying to get in inside those battery compartments to top off the cells. I love mine. Gonna fill mine tomorrow before I head to Oak Island, NC for Veterans Day week!! Bob Trice
