Had the neighbours old 12V marine battery on the charger for over 48 hrs. This morning I checked in and it has reached the 75% mark (haven't checked the voltage yet) on the charger (btw, charger runs at 1.1 amps) - but I heard a faint sizzling/crackling sound. Not knowing what it might be, I have disconnected it! Sounded like someone was frying bacon in there somewhere.

In the meantime, have picked up (figuratively) 2 6V 230 AmpHr / 448 minute reserve golf cart batts - didn't realize they were that big! - and will be installing everything when I get back tonight. Didn't pick up a bridging cable yet because I wasn't sure if my PO had 1 or 4 gauge cables back there. Knowing him, it was possible he used 1 gauge and there was no point getting a 4 gauge bridge.
Also need to sort out a tray of some sort.

Question - if I have to put a series system like that on a charger - do I approach it like one big 12V battery and go from the + on one to the - on the other and set the charger for a norm 12V? Or disconnect the bridge and charge them individually as 6V?

Got the adapters for the starter cables and that is going in as well. At least if the fires come my way, I will be able to start up and pull out.

Next step - bringing her in to Cummins next Friday to have them do a troubleshoot on the Onan and maybe get that happening, so by spring, I might have a snowball's chance at going somewhere Smile
