Gents, my apologies for not responding sooner. The RV is plugged in my shop and I do not need to resolve immediately. My son is coming up this weekend and we will tear into it to check batteries etc. the unit is a Magnum ME series in a 2007 Fleetwood. Per the book if I select charge, it should bulk charge, then absorption, finally change to float if I read this correct. It never drops down on its own. I can select absorption with an indicator of flash once per second. The reading is DC and on bulk is 16 amps and 13.2 volts. If I switch to absorption it drops to 3 or 4 amps and 12.7 volts. I am assuming it never drops down from bulk to absorption to float on its own because of a problem?
Why can't you answer my question(type remote panel)? You people want help but do not answer questions to get help. The Magnum does NOT have to have charge selected. It is automatic every time 120 volts is supplied to the Inverter. I have NEVER seen a Magnum do what you state it is doing. I have been working on Magnum Inverters for 10 years ever since they started production. Doug
