Hello all. I often see some of our people have trouble with overcharging their batteries. I had a 34 ft. for many years. It started out cooking the batteries. I did an experiment that worked great. I bought a small Schumacher motorcycle charger, and hooked it to my batteries. During the last several years the univolt was not on more than a dozen times. We spent the winters in the TX Valley, living in it for several months. I never once ran the batteries down or had a problem. Batteries would last me 4-5 years. Since I bought my 69 OL I have done the same to it. It charges 24 hours a day and has no trouble keeping up. You that are having over charging problems might want to try this. I think you will be susprised. Ralph Shumaker #1005 69 Overlander
