Hi,
Having some electrical issues and think that it may be due to the 6V battery connnection. Can someone who has a 2010 Fleetwood Discovery 40G post or e-mail a pic of your 6V battery compartment and terminal connections?
Either the four 6 volt batteries are connected in correctly or the inverter has a problem.
I tried to start the engine and the two 12 volt start batteries were dead. Tested both starter batteries, they read 10.7 amps. Hooked up my charger, hit the start assist button, and the engine started. I went ahead and replaced the batteries, reconnected everything and now the inverter display reads HI DC 19.4
I also noticed that now the microwave display was not on and the 120v outlets are not working. Checked the breaker box and nothing thrown. Also checked fuses and all good there. Checked the GFI plugs and could not find one that popped?
The next step is taking it to the Dealer @ $140 per hour labor rate.
Your post is a little confusing, so let's try to clean it up. Which batteries did you replace? The two 12VDC batteries, the four 6VDC batteries or all six? I read it as you replaced the four 6VDC batteries. Assuming that, I can also assume you did not take a picture of the wiring before disconnecting them. Common mistake but can be a costly one. Assuming you do not have a picture, I've attached a picture of my battery bank for you. See below.
Basically:
Positive supply line goes to the positive post on battery one;
Negative supply line goes to the negative post on battery four;
Jumpers are then connected to the positive posts on batteries, one and three;
Jumpers are connected to the negative posts on batteries, four and two;
Finally jumpers connect battery one's NEGATIVE post to battery two's POSITIVE post and battery three's NEGATIVE post to battery four's POSITIVE post.
Hope this helps. Post back once you've verified the batteries are correctly wired.....Dennis
