15 deg & 12.1 volt battery panel reading
Had left battery disconnect in ON position this winter(same last year) which has power to 12v furrion fridge, radio panel and who knows what else; been periodically checking volts reading - reading varies from 12.x to 13.x (charging- from the 'juice pack'). December & Jan this winter has so far been really cold for days on end and snowy so I decided to flip switch to OFF but to my dismay the volt status is now out as well. I believe the juice pack will continue its trickle charge while the disconnect is in off position.
I have a battery charger that has battery voltage check amongst other features. The issue is that the oem battery strap is hard to remove(any alternative recommendation out there?). Alternatively, I would like to install a separate cables that would hang outside the box so it can easily be checked and charged as necessary. I don't really want to spend $$$ on an additional monitoring unit. Or I might just be overthinking this and just plug the TT in shore power(parked in the driveway) once in a while especially when panel shows volt below 12.5. Helpful thoughts are appreciated. TIA.
