Forest, I know you know a lot more about this than I know!
Have you thought about the engine batteries?
When I first got my Newell, I replaced my house batteries with AGM type bats. I DID NOT change my engine batteries (wet cells). I often left the merge switch in the on position. Long story short is that I ruined three sets by my count, two sets by Newells count of engine batteries. My prosine was set to AGM.
I am convinced that my inverter cooked my engine batteries.
So…be careful how you set your inverter if you plan on merging the cells for long periods.
Thanks again for sharing!
Cheers,
bill
