Is it OK to hook up a battery charger to the bank of chassis batteries without disconnecting them?
I am plugged in to AC in my garage.
you wrote 'chassis batteries' which to most of us means the engine or starting battery. if you mean that then most of the RVs with which I am familiar do not charge the chassis battery(ies) when the RV is plugged into shore power. hence your question. I'm pretty sure the answer is yes simply because when I need to charge the battery in my jeep I just hook up a charger and let 'er rip. I know the techs at my service garage disconnect a battery before applying the charger.
if you meant the bank of coach batteries (the batteries that supply 12v power to your interior lights, furnace fan, etc. then those batteries should be charged or charging when you're hooked up to shore power, running the genny or parked in the sun (if you have solar panels). is charging not taking place??
