inverter / charger

[Gregory OConnor]

Howard, It seems that the rigs that have seperate engine batts , keep
that bank longer than house batt bank.I think the house bats get used
up because they are depleted past 12 v often. the auto genny/starts
will keep the house batbank closer to 12 and I think help keep the
batteries longer.

Motorcoaches go through alts on their engines and I wondered if
current going to the bateries from the house 110 chargers harms the
alts??. Are the alt to battery path diode protected??? if the diode
fails will it fail making two way contact or stop any flow???

the same problem of draining main engine batteries and draining the
generator battery also. I replaced the diode that is to stop the
electrical back flow from the generator battery. I also found a blown
30 amp circuit breaker and replaced it.
