AC/DC upgrade
I am upgrading the electrical in my Class C. I just installed an Ultra III 55 amp converter to replace the old Magnatek to get better battery charging. With the battery disconnected and plugged into shore power (AC) I show there is 12+ volts power at the DC lug on the converter panel, but there is nothing showing at the battery.
The 10 gauge DC+ wire goes down to a compartment next to the battery and connects to another small panel with several wires, fuses and what looks like a relay.
(I'm newer to the forum and tried to download a picture using the image icon on the editor, but apparently not smart enough to know how. Help here would also be appreciated as it is asking for a URL)
The cable from the battery compartment also goes to the compartment next door and to this small panel. It seems to be blocking the flow as there is no DC showing at the battery wires or at this panel
I would like to install a larger gauge wire directly to charge the battery but I don't understand what is this panel doing and why it is in the middle of everything? I appreciate any help.
