Pics of battery issue solved

I've been having trouble with my coach batteries. I had 2 950 CCA Workhorse batteries, 3.5 years old. I had to keep using my aux start to turn the Cummins over. I went to Battery Systems in Long beach, CA and had the Workhorse tested. One was poor, the other marginal. They suggested replacing at least one. I opted to replace them both with these babies, the Centenials.

My 6 volt Interstates are the same age and he said they're about half gone but good for now. In May I'm going to replace the 6 volts with these U.S. Battery ones.

I think I spotted the problem your are having with your batteries, they don't like being upside down. I would suggest you mount your new ones on the bottom of the battery tray rather than inverted and to the roof of the battery compartment :-) Isn't technology marvelous.

Not a moderator but I'm happy to help. Using an iPhone? Forum software doesn't recognize the orientation flags that Apple uses so it's best to start with orienting the camera to make it work. The position of the Home button is key - Portrait - Home button at the bottom (6 o'clock). Landscape - Home button on the right (3 o'clock).

Simple photo editing software can fix it as well. Rotate the picture 360 degrees and resave it. Should display properly after that.

Most forum software will take a picture taken in "portrait mode" as defined above, and rotate it CCW 90 degrees. I have a web site and the worst thing to happen to me was when they put cameras on phones. Seems people forgot how to take pics and when the phones/tablets started using the orientation flags - ohhhh mmmaaaannn - no one remembers the camera orientations anymore (think iPad). I spend a few hours each week rotating pics people have uploaded.
