If your are on "shore power" and disconnect your house battery to charge or replace - does anyone know if the system continues to work as usual? In another words, no open loop? Also, if the battery house cables are live and could short to ground when the battery is out if not careful?
While running my genset, I want to use a battery charger plugged in to charge my house battery, so should I disconnect it for charging?
Thanks,
Some converters need the battery in place to act as a filter for the 12v power, others work fine with no battery, so you'd need to find out more about your particular converter. I'm a bit confused on why you would ever need to charge your battery externally if you are hooked into shore power though??
If, however, that is what you are wanting to do, here is how I would do it. Leave the battery connected, flip off the 120v circuit breaker to the onboard converter/charger, and hook up your external charger to the battery. This would still give you 120v power to your AC and micro etc., but you'd be charging the battery from the external charger.
