Been through this one each rv I have owned. Trombetta is worthless in my opinion. I suggest 2 possibilities. NAPA continuous duty solenoid. Need a good counter person to help look it up.... or how about a properly rated solid state isolator? no moving parts and they worked good for me.
I was looking into a solid state solution but I'm not sure how it will play with my "Intellitec BCC - Diesel w/AUTO IGN RECONNET 00-00886-100"
Not sure what the auto reconnect means. The BCC is functioning properly other that the main battery disconnect latching relay not disconnecting. I'll go over the diagnostic routine outlined in the PDF I found on the web. I also need to monitor the voltage to the Trombetta. Not sure if the voltage drops to hold the solenoid. I have a cheapo VOM from HF that is not as reliable as I would like. Need to find another.
Last week we had a scheduled power outage, the inverter took over but the house battery volts started dropping like a rock. Yesterday I took the battery hydrometer out and found one pair of the 6 volt batteries fully charged but the 2nd pair was low! Both showed 6VDC.
I watered the charged pair but the low pair I want to fully charge B4 I water them. No cells were dry, the water was above the plates in all cells.
Cleaned tatterp posts and replaced a questionable battery cable on the low pair.
I ordered
this charger from Amazon;
Going to charge/desulfate the pair on the low side then top off with distilled. Just not sure if I should charge as a pair or individually.
Will keep you all posted on my progress.
