My 3400RL has two deep cycle batteries. One battery has more cold cranking amps than the other one and I was wondering if this matters. Also, we live in a cold climate in the winter and I wanted to know if I should take the batteries out of the RV over the winter or if they would be ok leaving them out in the cold. We travel south in February and I would like to make sure they are fully charged before we go. Should I charge each one separately or can I leave them hooked together and charge them both at the same time? I keep the switch to the batteries turned off when we are not using the trailer so there is nothing drawing on them. Also, what should I use to top up batteries if they are low in water? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
