batteries

[jackcj7]

As long as you "Break The Circuit" does it matter if you lift the Negitive or
Positive side? On my old '73 coach, I use the knife type disconnects on all
batteries, positive side, and open them while in storage.
I have to park the coach in the storage lot, where there is no power avalabe to
keep the batteries topped up. (the old MCAS El Toro , where some 2,600 RVs are
stored).
I use 2 Wallys 930 850 big 12V batteries, and one smaller one for the genny.
What is the problem with one battery smaller than the rest? Will it charge up
ok via the gen?
These are 3 year batteries, and Wally will replace them free if they fail before
that time..

suggestion that I can give is to disconnect the negative cable on the Genny
battery AND house/starting batteries. We have left ours in storage for up to 2
months disconnected and returned to fully charged batteries (12.8 volts). Just
make sure that you have the batteries fully charged and topped off with
electrolyte before putting them in storage.
