Newby with yet another issue. Blue is SUCKING electricity our bill $386 a month
bad charger
Disconnect the output and plug it back in and see what it does. Is this a charger only or dual purpose? You can keep the coach up with a regular 20 amp charger until you get this resolved. some of these chargers can be repaired. Others are not worth messing with. I personally don't believe in chargers, I put fixed converters in that make 14.2 all the time and the batteries are happy as oysters or clams or some other crab. They equalize when the engine runs. They never boil and never burn. I run German Sonnenschein Gells. Not the U.S. model. .Congratulations on the hunt.

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...


In reading your message, perhaps you need to replace those battery chargers. They may be bad or going bad. We replaced our battery chargers with a Xantrex SmartCharger. That $300+ bill will pay for that SmartCharger.
