Why were your engine start batteries at less than one volt? That should never happen, unless there is a load on them. My Sam's club group 31's AGM keep a full charge for months--unless there is a load. So what killed your batteries? It was not the lack of a charger.
What size batteries do you have? Have you done what was suggested by several folks last year? (check out wiring diagram, label wires, put in battery voltage/amperage monitor?

I have to chuckle at the crossover of this topic and my current one, Bob! Yes, I am forgetful and somewhat dense at times, and somewhere in the dark recesses I thought, "Didn't Bob once tell me that a battery can be charged and still toast?" and lo and behold, here I found your old comment to that very subject! So, better late than never, right? Yes, taking the suggestions, as time allows. Hoping to have it all sorted tomorrow with a load test and probably a new house battery.
Best to you and all the people here that continue to be helpful, in spite of my stupidity...
