Newby with yet another issue. Blue is SUCKING electricity our bill $386 a month

[gregory O]

what is the dc amp discharge of the bat chargers during any given ac
consumption? if the ratio is normal, then the chargers are ok. have it tested
with a clamp-on amp meter or just upgrade the chargers if they are old school
units. then check the batteries, if they dont store what is produced by the
chargers the lost amphours are constantly being requested.

what is the coach dc usage at any given time? if the batteries run down quick
w/o a charger/converter on, there is either a great battery dead short or high
consumption of use. RonM must have had a big dc consumption where a battery bank
wire grounded out.

We turned off the breaker for the upper flor. lights and that helped some. Then
we turned off another breaker that was labled in large red letters, "SURGE"...
there are two breakers with those red words on them. They do seem to be an
issue here. But now... we also found that the battery charger breaker is
pulling HUGE amounts of elec also. We can't leave it off or our batteries will
be sucked dry. When those breakers are OFF... the meter runs normally...

breakers... so SOMEONE knows something or at least was aware of the problems...
