Coach Batts overcharging

[Fred Hulse]

Hi Folks,

We have resolved our problem with coach overcharging the batteries.

The "auxillarybattery solenoid" was the fault of the issue.This solenoid is located adjacent to the battery selector switch on the "firewall curb side" just above the battery bank.

The part I replaced was notidentical in appearance to the original,but had the same purpose.A rather easy change for anyone to get done.

We used a universalcontinuous duty marine insulated base solenoid available at any parts store.The part number on the one I used was a Cole Hersee 24117 costing about $40.00. Also a number 24059 is the same solenoid without the plastic coating and much less money but stillthe same quality.

In order to use these solenoids,the small wire terminals need to be replaced to fit the larger diameter studs,

(10-32 instead of 8-32)

I am happy to get this issue done and will be able to get over to Southern California late next week.

Thank you all for the help and ideas you shared in order for me to eliminate many circumstances.
