COACH BATTERIES

[Gardner Yeaw]

GPSGary,
What you may be unaware of is that we Bird owners know that part
of the regular maintenance routine is to clean and inspect the
battery terminals. We have been round and round with the battery
situation and found, through practical experience, what works best
for us. If I were designing a space craft it would be very high on
the list to minimise the points of failure, but that is a different
situation. Using deep cycle six volt batteries cabeled up in a
series/paralell configuration has proven over time to be the right
way to go in an RV. Theory aside, practical experience has proven
the concept to be correct.
