Fixed My Trik-L-Start
Surprise, dead starting battery, with Trik-L-Start.
Had to use emergency start to go have 6 Michelins replaced because of recall. Put starting battery on charge overnight when I got back.
Opened up house battery compartment, found I had forgotten to connect Trik-L-Start ground wire when replacing house batteries. Also found loosely crimped-on ring terminal at circuit breaker that I installed in series with blue wire from Trik-L-Start to starting battery positive terminal. Now starting battery reads 13.1 volts with engine off charging from house battery/converter/charger through Trik-L-Start. Yellow LED is on indicating maintenance charge rate. Double Duh!! 15 amp circuit breaker is recommended in case blue wire from house battery shorts to the frame, etc.
