DEAD/BAD batteries will NOT kill a APU once it has started. What will kill the APU is IF the Power Converter or Inverter/Charger (whichever you have) CANNOT maintain a constant 12 volt supply to the APU, it will die. APU's DO NOT charge batteries. They have no charger and if there is not constant supply of 12.5 volts to the APU it will die. IF you have BAD/Shorted batteries,. then the Power Converter or Inverter/Charger may not be able to supply a 12 volt supply, because the batteries are causing a malfunction of the charger system. AS others have pointed out, replace those batteries and your problem may be fixed. Make sure you check the Coach charging system after the batteries are replaced, as you may have harmed it or blown a fuse. Doug
