Absolutely check the charging system. If you don't know how to do a voltage drop test on the charging circuit, PM and I can explain.

I would suspect somewhere in the MH's life someone replaced a dead battery with the wrong one. You really need identical batteries for the house. And they should be the same age too. Otherwise you have the weak battery drawing down the good one. Making your available power less than normal.

Donn0128 is correct! My sons Father in law who is in the business told me to check the serial numbers on the batteries and try and get the numbers in sequence to ensure that the batteries will be as close to equal as possible. Anything else would be asking for trouble! By all means get two deep cycle batteries and match the serial numbers as close as possible, (that would mean that the two batteries were built on the same day). If the battery says anything about Cold Cranking Amps, stay away from it as it is not the right battery for what you need!!
