   Thanks for the response Jato. My Wfco panel says the dc status is 13.0v. I pulled. The trailer into my 30amp outlet at home to see if it will charge up to full. Then will see once unplugged if it will hold the charge with the solar trickle charge.

	Hopefully you have a multitester or voltmeter to check battery voltage. A fully charged battery at rest will read 12.72 volts at 100% S.O.C. Lead acid batteries should not be taken below 12.2 v before being recharged for maximum life. My oldest battery is over 11.5 years old and still performs well (I carry 2 batteries on my a-frame, the newest is a Trojan T-1275 and puts out 150 aH. I hope your battery hasn't drained to 0, if so it will be toast, it will not hold a charge and will have to be replaced.

	Hello, I am new to the forum and new to being an owner of a travel trailer I recently bought a 2023 Rpod 190, it has a solar panel that trickle charges the battery during the day. However, overnight the battery drains to zero and the solar panel beeps do to low battery. Then when the sun comes out the solar panel charges up the battery maybe 3/4 full but by the next morning the battery is drained again. Anyone else experience this issue?
