My rig runs around 14.4 volts at anything over 1000 RPM. Is this voltage going to shorten the life of the battery? We usually drive 5 hours or so between camping stops. The coach battery is a group 24 deep cycle flooded cell type. Thanks, Bill I would like to know what the maximum battery charging voltage should be when the engine is running.

If you have a two 1000 amp batteies that is 2000 amps, How long will it take to charge them, each battery has 250 amps 500 total for both, with a 20 amp charger?

I made a bookshelf and a hammer. My 60's -era Ford tractor has a generator. No matter how long it sits, once it is started, the battery always charges quickly. Thanks for the explanation !
