House Batteries Not Charging
I have two house batteries Exide 31XHEV installed new on 27 May 2014.
When coach is connected to shore power or when generator is running the electrical display panel indicates 13.5-14 volts charging.
When coach engine is running, the same electrical display panel indicates only 12.5 volts, normally it would also indicate 13.5-14 volts. This problem has only started in the last four days of driving.
At a 3-lug junction terminal in the battery area, three red heavy leads indicate by voltmeter 13.5 volts. I also have 13.5 volts at a wall-mounted silver colored electrical cylinder in the battery area.
On the engine display panel, 14 volts indicated are being put out by the alternator.
I don't see any breakers thrown or fuses blown.
Presently I am at an RV Park in Mission TX and am moving to Lackland AFB FamCamp on Monday for four days.
Suggestions are most welcome.
