Joe...Are you saying that if we keep our bus plugged in then drive to a camp ground and plug in again that they batteries will have to be replaced soon? Think I am missing something here.?? Diane

Diane,
One thing for sure if a coach is used as Joe stated; you sure don't need 6-8 8d batteries. Those that don't dry camp have reduced thier house bank down to 2 8d batteries without any negative effects. Maybe, that's what he's saying.

I can tell you that brand new Dekkas that were maintained properly didn't make 2 years in our coach... we bought them out of ignorance because that what was in there only to find out those weren't very old either... trust me they are crap !! If we would have been on these Prevost sights sooner we would have known...Lifelines are the only way to go !! Diane

Im sorry Diane that was my version of poor humor. Gill characterized the thoughts correctly.

I LOST A SET OF LIFELINE 8-Ds IN 13 MOS CAUSE INVERTERS CHARGING TO HOT ON FLOAT DARRELL
Darrel U have Trace inverters in the Thompson?? What did U find caused it?
JOE THAT WAS IN MY 98 LIBERTY WITH HEART INVERTERS YOU ARE RIGHT, MY THOMPSON XANTREX SAME AS TRACE DARRELL
OH BY THE WAY THIS THOMPSON HAS DEKAS, 3YRS OLD, SO FOR THEY ARE GREAT, I THINK THESE XANTREX INVERTERS ARE BETTER THAN THE HEARTS WERE, I HAVE ONE INVERTER GOING DOWN RIGHT NOW DARRELL
If a person searched these archives or the PC archives one thing that would be known is often the greatest cause of battery failure is the coach owners fail to set the inverters to the correct charging voltages as specified by the battery manufacturers. If it took darrel a year to toast lifeline batteries I bet I could do it in a month with the wrong settings
Was it OK to say PC or will that get censored
