Could Torklift PowerArmor Solar Battery Box TLA7710RS Keep Batteries Topped Off

Question:

Hi, I recently upgraded from the dealer installed group 24 12v batteries to 4 Trojan T-105 GC batteries on my coachmen apex 300bhs travel trailer. I have a 2500 watt Aims pure sine inverter installed. My question is will this box accommodate the 4 Trojans? And does the solar panel trickle charge all batteries simultaneously? They are set up in a series to create 2 12v. I am trying to find a solution that won’t require me to unhook my batteries and keep in my house during winter storage months. I live in Northern California and it almost never dips below freezing. Would this work with the wiring for my inverter/charger as well as the cut off switch I have installed on the frame? Thanks!

When the solar panel of the TorkLift PowerArmor Solar Locking Battery Box - 6V and 12V Batteries # TLA7710RS has direct sunlight it is capable of producing 10 watts of power to charge your battery bank. If you wired the charger up in series like your batteries are currently it would work on all of them. 10 watts isn't exactly a high charge but if the batteries are stored in good condition and fully charged and this would have access to a lot of sunlight it would keep them topped off.
