[QUOTE="condor22, post: 289979, member: 1932"] John, Had a look at your battery info, they are silver calcium lead acid. They state maintenance free and supposedly have a reduced gas off. However, Calcium batteries usually require a higher charging voltage and should have a Calcium specific mode smart charger, wether 240VAC or Solar. I have an aversion to putting anything other than an AGM in an enclosed space (excepting Lithium, but they are very expensive). Improper charging can cause increased gassing. Also you have differing AH value batteries, it is not recommended to charge different sized batteries in parallel at the same time. [/QUOTE]
