generator weirdness
Jay:
I have to agree with you except for the "replace battery with good one". Since he puts the aux charger on and it works ok, then in theory it should work with the inverter/charger as well. When you put the charger on, do you clip the positive and negative directly to the battery, if that is the case, how about the "GROUND" again. To complete the answer, we need some more info as Jay has requested. Bill 84 FC 35 SB "$quanderlodge" Terrace, B.C. Canada ----- Original Message ---- From: Jay Darst To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 5:49:18 PM Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Re: generator weirdness Replace the battery with a known good one. Take a volt reading on the gen battery with out anything running. Now, with the Inverter in charge mode(either shore power or gen power connected), check the voltage at the gen battery. If the voltage does not increase with the inverter/charger on, probably the isolator has an issue or there is a broken wire from the rear compartment running up to the gen battery. My brothers FC had a 2ga cable with hole rubbed in the insulation, about mid coach. Ran from the battery bank to the stock inverter. Kept depleting his battery bank. I removed the factory isolator, someone told me it was a rectified isolator- don't have a clue what the "rectified" part is. Anyway, the new isolator is a Sure Power Industries 24023A, 160 amp isolator. Looses about .2 volts input to output posts. Bought brand new on E- bay for $90. I'm guessing now... Maybe the fuel solenoid is compromised and requires higher volatge to remain in the ON position???? Is the connection to the fuel solenoid not so good? Where's Ralph?
