h respect to battery life, discharging even deep cycle batteries to 50% or less of their capacity will drastically shorten their life. Your battery charge level indicator lights on the control consul along with tank capacity lights etc, will give you a rough idea of your charge level. Once you see the charge level approach 50% its time to run your gen set or plug into shore power. Your power center/converter will recharge your batteries relatively quickly. There should be a label on the power center that lists the charge rate min and max. for your coach. Also, if you are having problems with "boiling" your house batteries, I replaced mine with sealed deep cycle batteries. They cost only slightly more and don't boil over.
