House Battery voltage

[JWH11550]

I have a 2025 Prism MBE with dead house batteries.
There are 2 batteries. They each have 24v on the labels but they read 12v each (temporarily) when I check the voltage. They should be replaced with new 12v batteries, yes or no??

if you have 24v batteries now then you have a 24v system and should stay with 24. Have you charged them. If a 2025 they may not need to be replaced.

I charged them, it sat for a long time. They don't hold a charge. But Shouldn't each battery read 24v not 12v?

The 24 is the Group physical size designation. Letters after the "24" designate terminal layouts. I doubt very much that you have anything 24 volts in that rig unless someone mad a major change.

I have to take another look, you're probably right.
