charging house batteries

While connected to shore power with the converter charging I get a slight battery order, smells like sewer but it it's not. Should that happen.

That just might be the smell of boiling batteries.

Next time you smell it, I'd go check my batteries and see if they might be overcharging/boiling.

Depending on the sophistication level of your charger, you may need to adjust a setting to limit how many amps you use to charge. I had to do this with the Dimensions Inverter/Charger in my rig.
