Battery Tender question
Let me preface this by saying when comes to electricity I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
I just installed a harness to my truck battery to run my Battery Tender this winter. The truck and camper are only a little over a year old and the batteries, one truck, two AGM's in camper, are in excellent condition and fully charged. The camper is on the truck full time.
I hooked everything up and expected the Battery Tender to show a flashing green light (80%) or a solid green (100%) by morning as the batteries were fine to begin with. Now 16 hours later the light is still solid red indicating a full charge mode.
First question, apparently the the tender is also charging the camper batteries as they show 12.8 volts at rest and over 13 volts when the BT is plugged in. The truck battery shows 12.7 volts at rest.
I guess my concern is if I am doing any damage as it seems the BT is over charging the system? I did check the BT on my Tahoe and Harley and it went to flashing green in less than an hour so it seems the charger is operating correctly.
Is the three battery set up confusing the BT?
