Battery Charger

[Curt Sprenger]

Alvie,

I haven't been following this thread other than I recall a posting saying
your charging system went south.Give me some details and I'll try to take a
look at the options you can take. What charging system is in the coach now?
How many? What capacitie(s)? Were you happy with what's there now up until
the failure? How many batteries did the failed unit(s) charge? Batteries 6
or 12 volt?
