    Top balance

    So yesterday my top balanced finally finished. I stopped at 3.64 volts. It took right around 48 hrs to do 8 280 AH. I took apart and let sit over night. This is how it settled. Should I top off again or discharge to 2.60 volts?

    What is the best way to run a 2-8s 300 amp chargery for a 12v setup? I have 8 280ah sells on the way and a chargery with 300 DCC. This is for my 5th wheel. I was told to go 24v but I have a lot of 12v to run. Plus I would have to use a 12v battery to start my 4000 w onan. Thanks
