Mep, Have had the ArkPak for a while now and it has worked as expected for me. Glad to see that your issue seems to be getting resolved. I have found that charging the battery via 12 volt isn't the most efficient way to charge the battery. Per the web site the battery charges at 6 amps per running hour via 12 volt plug. I always start with the battery at 100 percent before a trip. I plug it into the vehicle's 12 volt and plug my refrigerator into the ArkPark. Driving for several hours will keep the ArkPak topped off. When camped I charge the ArkPk with with solar panels and have gone for several days without issue, charging several electronic devices. Hope to hear a better experience with your replacement.

12.5 isn't great.
While you are waiting for your replacement Arkpak, I would suggest putting the battery on different charger and see if you can get it back to 12.7-12.8. Then let it sit for at least 12 hours with no load on it and check the voltage again, it should still be the same. If it's dropping down you may have to go through a drain/charge recovery cycle to get it back up to snuff.
Lots of threads on this issue, just went through something similar with a pair of Diehard Platinum batteries and was able to recover them.

You could always cut a piece of plywood a Lil bigger than the arkpak and still into that.

My Diehard platinums typically show 13.7-8 on the charger. Is that after a 12 hour rest period?

He has a wet cell battery, while yours is an AGM. That might make the difference.
