IAMICHABOD & Skibane,
Thanks so much for the "Continuous Duty Solenoid" tip!!!
Makes perfect sense and once the sun comes up here I'm on the case.
I've had to replace similar solenoids on my home's emergency generator twice now, so I know what to look for. Would you suggest just buying one from Amazon like the one you linked to? Or do I need some special order part?
Is there some reference to all the magic that happens in that Battery Control Center? Now that it has come on my radar I'd like to understand it better.
For example: what happens when you start the engine while plugged into shore power so that the converter is already charging the batteries??? There must be some kind of circuit that controls that.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to respond.
