Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Batteries not charging...
I everyone, I ran into a problem that is sort of confusing me.
My bus has been sitting now for a few months. I've been running it
every few weeks to kep everything charged and lubricated but the last
time, I left the inverter on and it drained the batteries all the way
down to about 10 volts and I had to jump start it.
The alternator is working as normal when running but it seems the
batteries just can't hold a charge. Even after running for extended
peroids of time (trip to Mississippi from NM) when the engine is off,
the low volt relay still trips.
Any suggestions? I don't think there is a short anywhere.
Thanks,
Al S.
