Next time it trips open your battery compartment and feel the sides of each battery. If any one of them feels hot it is very possible you have a bad battery. What happens is if you have a shorted cell the charger will go into overdrive and this causes the battery to off gas. This gas will set off your propane detector.
At least something to check. It happened to me.
Yes, I've had this exact thing happen many times. Any type of unburned hydrocarbon fuel will set the "propane" detector off including hydrogen from a storage battery given off during charging/discharging. Last time in the close quarters of an RV park even my neighbors diesel truck would set mine off under cold start conditions and the right wind direction.
