"Yes Dear, I'm ready go go - but let me do one more info sharing on our problem."
I mentioned the last time this happened, was about 6-8 months ago. (And other then a few hours off and on while traveling, we've been on Shore Power since then.) The night before we were boon docking and I had the first Lower Battery Shut Down, we were at Santa Fe Skies. In the AM before we left the park, we did have an unexpected lightening storm. (I usually unplug from Shore Power Lightening is forecasted, did not that last night.)
Our power went off, and the Inverter did not stay on, about 5:00AM. Before I could do anything, power came back on, and the Inverter/Charger came back alive. I did not check error codes at that time, but recalled I was surprised the Inverter did not take over during the power outage.
We left, and moved to a overnight BLM campground in Utah, and that next AM is when I had this first occurrence of a problem.
I just looked, and I see a similar H1 all the way to H9, error occurrence, going back a bit. 8.5 -9.1V and 37-44A recordings.
(While in storage at home next door, we did have a few power outages during this time, suspect these Faults occurred at that time.)
So what? Well, it does not appear to be a 'two time' occurrence. And, I thought the lightening outage at the park may have some bearings on possibly a quick shot to the Magnum slipping past the TRC Surge Guard.
(Then again, it may have nothing to do with this....)
If those are accurate readings of Voltage and Amp Draw - I do have something going on that I'm missing.
Off to the hike:)!
