Some newbie battery questions and assumptions
I recently experienced fully depleting my batteries (2x6 V) by unknowingly deploying the run-away break on the hitch while parked in the campsite. I understand this creates a big draw on the battery until put back in place)
My experience was that the combination of solar panel and charging with tow vehicle alternator was insufficient to bring the batteries back to full charge.
Only option was to get to shore power, isolate batteries and use a dedicated battery charger. With a 2 amp charger, and charging each 6V separately this was an all day affair.
Does this sound about right and is it consistent with the experience of others who have depleted batteries?
Thanks in advance!
