2008 Revolution owners, batteries and inverter questions

I'm the new owner of a 2008 Revolution. This coach is equipped with AGM batteries. Question 1- These batt's are 4 years old and go dead over night with no load except Refer. These are lifeline batt's. Is it common for them to last only 4 years? 2. The inverter seems to be drawing power with coach in storage mode. Is there any switch I can flip to shut inverter off? 3. Does anyone use flooded batteries in this coach?

Thanks Gator

Like any battery, if the Lifelines weren't cared for, they may be shot. No lead acid battery can be stored in a discharged state.

Go to the Lifeline website and check out their instructions on conditioning them. You may be able to squeeze some life out of them.

You can use flooded batteries, just make sure the charging source is set for them.

On the inverter control panel you can turn it off. Will the batteries die if you weren’t running frig off of inverter.
