New to me 2017 242SC and house batteries were new from dealer and dead now, shore power plugged in and showing 120 volts and battery breaker is on but not charging batteries, the charger shows 12 volts; something not turned on?
Ha, figured this one out, with shore power, ac main has to be on, duh, charging awayNew to me 2017 242SC and house batteries were new from dealer and dead now, shore power plugged in and showing 120 volts and battery breaker is on but not charging batteries, the charger shows 12 volts; something not turned on?
Noticed the inverter red switch was on right above the batteries, not sure if that was draining batteries but turned it off to see if the house batteries hold a charge nowNew to me 2017 242SC and house batteries were new from dealer and dead now, shore power plugged in and showing 120 volts and battery breaker is on but not charging batteries, the charger shows 12 volts; something not turned on?
Apparently the inverter power switch does indeed drain house batteries if left on, so, just checked and holding voltage nowNoticed the inverter red switch was on right above the batteries, not sure if that was draining batteries but turned it off to see if the house batteries hold a charge now
Thank you Ralf, still can’t get a reading from the DC volts meter, the house meter works on shore power but nothing on DC meterHi there,
Sorry for the troubles that you had with your charging system, but it looks like you have it under control now. And yes, if you leave the switch powered on it will eventually wear the batteries down. 😉
For the hatch struts, they are Newport Engineering and are part number SX100PSS-30
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Ralf
