Setting your Trace Auto Gen Start Parameters

[cubeman]

Well yesterday while dry camping I decided to test out our batteries. They lasted 20 hours 18 min before the generator started on it's own . This is much more than I ever expected and you could say we are very Happy with the results . The weather was a low of 28 and a high of 37 or so . So the heaters have been running . We have a old Amana and elect cooking stove .


This is not how we would normally exercise the genny but I thought they could use a good long drain on them to stretch there abilities and life span .

So here is the question . If we do not dry camp much but are plugged in most of the time or driving which charges the batteries all the time , do we shorten there Life Span ?
