Do I Need New Starter and Auxiliary Batteries ?

Coach is 2016 class A bought new....this past winter I killed the four house batteries accidentally.....somehow power got left on and they went dead then we had a 2 or 3 day freeze.....result was they would no longer hold charge.

I think same happened to the starter and aux batteries....they don't seem to hold charge either....how can I be sure before investing in two more new batteries?

Thanks, Jim

If in doubt , remove the batteries for a complete warm up, then charging and load testing , most battery or auto parts stores will load test for free.

Freezing will usually kill any lead acid battery.

Probably both goners, but use Skip's advice to verify that.
