I presume your Use/Store switch is the same as my battery disconnect switch and when set to store it disconnects the battery.
If you have been plugged in and the switch is set to Store, the coach battery would not be getting charged. At least that is how mine works. I believe the Store position is to prevent the battery from being being discharged by parasitic loads while sitting in storage and not plugged in. However not all battery disconnect switches actually disconnect all loads, so there may still be a small drain on the battery in Store.
If you can get your hands on a clamp-on DC ammeter you can measure the current into and out of the battery and see exactly what is going on.
It sounds like a clamp-on DC ammeter may be my next purchase ;)
Thanks
