Hi Mark,
When I ran into battery water loss problems with my Kingsley, I installed a
large knife switch on the positive terminal of my coach batteries (2, 6V
golf cart batteries in series). After a couple of days of charging after
use or when new, I just open the switch and leave it that way until I want
to top up the charge or use the batteries. This allows me to leave the
coach plugged in but doesn't damage the batteries.
HTH,
Marion Hope
