We are boondocking on our property, and using a generator to charge up our batteries. We were using 2 12 volt deep cycle batteries, but even though less than 2 years old, they would not hold a charge through the night, running only the furnace. So I replaced them with two 6 volt 230 amp golf cart batteries in series. When running the generator, the voltmeter shows 13.5, but when the Gen is off, voltage drops to 12.6 plus or minus a tenth. By morning, I am down to 11.5 volts. I have tried using a higher rated generator, or running my Honda 2000 all day, but I can never get the batteries to hold more than 11.9 through the night. Is my converter defective or is something else wrong?
