House Battery Charge While Underway
Once again I come to the best wisdom source to be found. 07 Holiday Rambler, 4 6v house batts, Magnum controller, Magnum inverter 2012. Situation is, when we dry camp we run the gen for 2 hours...

Start your engine, wait about 2 minutes and then measure both battery banks voltage. You'll likely find that the isolation solenoid is not working and failure of the contacts is common.
Scott, The ME2012 fourth stage is No Charge and is automatic. This occurs with fully charged batteries and minimum draw. The fifth stage is Equalize and is manual.
You know, I've read that the ME2012 is SUPPOSED to go to a "FULL CHARGE" status, after the house batts have been brought up to and, are staying at, a full charge for a while, usually after 4 hours of float charge. But, I have never, ever seen my remote, display that "Full Charge" status. This is why I stated what I did. And, yes, the actual fifth one is, EQUALIZATION. My fault.
