Coach Batts overcharging

[Ron Thompson]

Thanks for posting the resolution to your overcharging problem. I will certainly remember your fix and have filed your resolution in my RV repair problem folder. You never know when I might get the same problem. Was the problem that it would not close or was it that it was closed all the time. Important to understand the problem.

A problem like this one is not an easy find as it can be so many things. Excellent find, Fred.
