Yes sir!
Thank you Mr. JNat_98!

I will say this one thing however, just a "heads-up" to anyone who may find themselves in the same situation and in need of purchasing a new battery:

Prior to the installation of the new battery(Interstate 8D-MHD), just for a goof, I decided to check the cell water levels. And low-and-behold ALL cell water levels where significantly low.
I'd say a good 1/2 - 3/25 inch below the reading cylinder wall.

So just a word to the wise.

Thank you all so much again!!!

Greetings all once again.

I'm following up here to this post because I have something strange happening with my new chassis battery.

I think it was perhaps a month or two ago when I first noticed water on the outside of this new chassis battery along with what appeared to be a bit of excessive corrosion on the negative terminals of my two house batteries.

Also there appears to be a whole lot of corrosion on the outside of the bottom-right front corner of the battery try which I've never seen before.

At first, I thought it was just a water leak in the battery bay as some bays do leak a bit during heavy rains.
But it's been there pretty consistently now and I'm not seeing water leaking down from the top anywhere above/around the battery.

I have since done a bit of investigation and from what I've been able to tell, this may be caused by "overcharging" or perhaps cracked plates.

In addition, I've recently encountered a starting issue with my generator as it suddenly will not crank at all.
And my radio died suddenly at the same time as the generator so I'm thinking the issue is electrical and perhaps it's related to this battery issue.

I've checked both the radio fuse and the two fuses on the front of the outside of the generator and all good.
Also checked the breaker in the back by the fuel filters but I'm not too sure If I checked that properly as I don't really know what to look for in or order to discern that it's been tripped. Its a 150A breaker that looks like a red button about the circumference of a dime.
If its tripped does it like pop out or something??

I've opened a separate forum post for this located here.

Might anyone have any insight into why this might be happening?
Any troubleshooting tips?

Thanks a ton again.

-Luke

This is not your answer but brought me to something I wanted to share with everyone. A friend of mine in a non-Country Coach introduced me to an item from Pulse Tech. The problem with batteries the plates build up sulfates then the acid cannot rejuvenate power to the battery hence we replace right. We installed these units on my batteries last week they say that it will increase battery life 3 to 5 times, if it only doubled it would be worth it.this is not new technology, it was developed in 1988 for the government. It has just recently been put on the open market. Prevost and Newell have had it for some time. I have a friend with a 2008 Newell that has the original batteries in it
If your batteries are weak most likely they will be rejuvenated if not to far gone.these little gizmos ( technical word)pulse 30,000 times a second to remove or keep the sulfates off the plates.
These little suckers(technical word) are CHEAP. Each unit retails for $45.00 and on the small 6 volt battery each unit will handle up to 3 batteries wire in series, the big 8D's each need one. So on mine I used two for my two 8D's, I used four as I have 2 trays with four batteries each, no way to wire three in series. Put one in the Caddy, one in the Vette, the I bought one for the 48 volt golf cart, this one handles all six batteries and it was $72.00. If anyone is interested call me or Greg Ricketts at 210-863-6644. Also Eric Olstrom in Tucson is handling also at 520-624-2024.

Yes those are the ones. I'd rather buy from a reputable dealer who stands behind their product.
