My starboard batteries are always lower than the port side. 12.2 V or less versus 13.8 V. I have 4 batteries, probably originals (360 SD 2005). After 1 or 2 days anchored, I got an alarm when I'm cruising (3400rpm) on my Smartcraft that Portside batteries are too low (11 V). Alarm will go off when I slow down (2000rpm). I have started my Gen to be able to get back to the marina.
When at achor, I usually turned off 1 fridge (I have 2 fridge plus 1 freezer) and start the generator for about 1 hour before to go to sleep.
Could it be my alternator that does'nt recharge when cruising ? How long should last a battery ?
Should I just use my generator more..?
Any idea what could be my problem ?
Thanks
