Batteries VS Residential Fridge
I know there have been many complaints about batteries not holding up very well. But, who has actually made an improvement/modification that helped battery life? And, what did you do to acheive better life?
My wife & I went out for a quick two nighter to try out dry camping. Things did not far well for the fridge. Our 2-6 volt batteries are two months old, they were fully charged (reading 13.6- 13.7 on the invertor readout) because the coach had been plugged in for the last 2 months. I checked the water 2 days before leaving, they were all nearly full. We drove 1 1/2 hrs, arriving at our weekend getaway location and setting up camp about 5pm. At 2:30am the invertor alarm woke me up. Obviously the batteries didn't last long at all.
Has anyone managed to dry camp overnight without a two battery system going dead? With just two of us we don't run much more than the two lights over the dinnette while playing cards.
