I put a knife disconnect on my coach batteries, they can go a month in storage and only drop slightly.. the Store/use switch does not shut everything off...constantly charging and draining battery can not be good for it

My parasitic drain always seems high to me, varying between .3 and .7 amps. My solar usually just charges the batteries when sitting, but if not sunny they begin to run down. I may just put a disconnect switch directly on them, but allow for solar to continue to charge.
