12 VOLT BREAKERS FOR LIPPERT SLIDE

Converter/charger should be part of your AC & DC dist. panel---the one with AC circuit breakers and DC fuses.
If converter is getting 110V AC power IN then it should have 13.2V DC output at minimum and if battery is not isolated by disconnect switch the converter/charger will maintain battery charge when hooked up to shore power
That is if you didn't hook new battery up backwards and blew the converter 'reverse polarity' fuses. If so converter can't charge battery and battery can't supply RV (lights, pump etc) when not hooked up to shore power.


As for the slide 12V DC breakers.......those are typically auto resetting dc circuit breakers available at any auto parts store. Just check amp rating on current ones (30A etc) for replacement.

I guess I was thinking about my previous motorhome, a 2007 Country coach, which had a separate charger for the battery., most likely run thru the convertor The convertor/charger is working fine I checked the charge rate yesterday and it was just shy of 13V DC. I just wanted to know where it was located. I didn't install the new battery and since it has been functioning well I assume it is hooked up correctly.

As for the breakers, thanks for the input. When I looked at them they appeared to be specifically made for the bar they are installed on.

Can a temporally low battery cause a strain on the breaker enough to make it trip?

Thanks for the reply
