High Voltage drop to slide motor
Good day folk :) I just purchased a 2017 Sportman Classic 181BH. I noticed the slide felt "sluggish" like the motor is not getting proper juice. Decided to do a test and by-pass existing wiring a...

Yup the voltage at the battery stayed the same,The bank is 430amp/h 2x 12v wet cell.
And the size of my trailer I'm everywere all the time !!! Hahah
The trimetric stayed at 13v during the test. While I had my Multimeter at the motor.
My switch is rated 40amp.
But I will need to check voltage on that one...
It looks like I will go to relays tho.
Even with perfect connection a voltage drop calculator still shows 1.5v drop in that length of #10.
I am having trouble understanding this. My Trimetric shows battery voltage and that always drops a bit whenever there is a load such as the furnace coming on. Same with the slide moving, same with the inverter when it draws 12v from running any 120v loads.
IMO there is just no way the Tri stayed at 13v (which is already higher than a full battery at 12.7) Was shore power still connected and your converter was in on this?
BTW what kind of 12v batteries do you have? Two making 430AH--they must be big!
BTW again--ISTR Dieppe NB is where they kept Trotsky for a while. Unfortunately they let him go :( .
