When we got our coach the electrical system was busticated pretty badly by someones hack job on the batteries and wiring. Originally (we think) it had 8 AGM batteries but someone along its life decided lead acid would be better (or cheaper, or something) they did a bad job wiring and eventually there were problems .. One of the batteries had ruptured(!) [that was a mess to clean up] Anyway .. after about 20 minutes of putting power to the charging system here's what it looked like .. notice all the various heat spots and cold spots the thermal camera picked up on some of the cells? Thats not a good sign. Lots of bad crimps on the wiring and some basic under sized connections in a couple of places. All of it came out and the wiring was rebuilt.

Anyway, we put in AGMs back in and set them up 4 to a side. This is probably overkill but based on my load analysis it will keep the tv's going and the ice cream from melting in the fridge while the kid that got to wear the managers name-tag at the koa looks around for the breaker at night. ;)
Nice camera image.
