My Magnum cannot be turned off and will drain the battery to 50 percent in a month. Therefore I added a shutoff switch.Colo Native wrote:
looks like bottom up. Now would you recommend the fuse and shut off be near it or on the other side of the wall by the batteries, Thanks everybody
Actually, it should not have a shutoff. Most are wired directly to the batteries. That way the charger will work any time that you are connected to shore power.
x2 on a shutoff. great for storage as well as maintenance to the batteries or inverter... less exciting that just pulling the fuse / cable and getting that nice arc when you install it again as the capacitors recharge.
I am putting a shutoff in because it is easier to turn a knob than having sparks
