Your RV battery is the heart of your successful camping trip. A well maintained battery can extend the life of your battery and make for a very happy camping family. If you seem to be replacing batteries more frequently than you feel is normal some of these tips form Mark Polk of RV Education 101 may help.
Some of the most frequent causes of battery failure are:
Sulfation
Parasitic Load
Self-Discharging
Undercharging

There are a few other things to consider and Mark goes into detail on each of them. You can read more about it at Mark Polk: Not Another Dead Battery!
