Auxilliary Battery Switch

[timvasqz]

I've never turned them off in the last five years and always park with the
chargers running. It sounds like the aux batteries power a relay that gateway
power from the chargers to the engine batteries???.

in the 94pt to charge the engine batteries while parked, you are requires to
combine the two banks at the dash and glow a dash led. the banks have gateways
mostly for consumption so you wont suck the juice off the engine batteries while
dry caamping off inverter. when the 94pt detroit is running the two banks
automaticaly combine and receive a charge off of the alts.

Does anyone leave their auxilliary battery switch in the on position at all
times when parked? Is there any harm in doing it? Is there any chance of
overcharging the batteries? I travel alot and am not home everyday to check on
the coach so don't want to leave the switch on if it may harm the batteries. The
manual gives no indication whether to leave the switch on or off. I just
wondered what everyone else was doing.
