Hi all,
So for 2.5 years I've been running a pair of Trojan T-105 6V batteries and they have been working great. I have a PD Power Converter/Charger.

Well the other day the batteries just went dead. I came out and there was nothing. I thought maybe I left lights on or something. Anyways I plugged in the RV and let it charge throughout the day and night. My battery monitor said I was at 100% but I couldn't get more than one LED light going! No fan...nothing.

I pulled the batteries and put in another 12v deep cycle I had laying around and everything inside the coach is fine.


When I put the hydrometer in the Trojans they all read in the 1.3 range which according to Trojan is full charge.

But this is where it gets odd... when I check the volts they both are in the 8.3-8.4 range. 16.7V when I have them in series.


Thoughts?
