House battery being overcharged????
1994 Calista Cove MH. Book says charging system will sense fully charged and not over charge the house battery. After being hooked to shore power the volt reading at the battery terminals is 14.2 volt...

I haven't been able to find the charger--looked in all the external bays, and the interior bays. Will have to get underneath and trace the wires from the battery. Been thru this with an old boat. After much searching on the web determined a fully charged battery will read about 12.75. With a smart charger, voltage will taper off as full charged reached which is about 13.2 to 13.8. Since the house battery sits at 14.2 I think it is a dumb charger. Also believe the 1994 vintage charger that came with the MH is not "smart" charger in the sense they are today. Therefore sitting at 14.2 prompted my question.
I'll pull a terminal wire to get a check 3 hours later as suggested. I'll also try again to find the charger? Thanks for the information
