Full Charge (Battery Saver™ mode): The fourth stage occurs after four hours in the Float Charging stage. The Full Charge stage is designed to keep batteries fully charged over long periods and prevent excessive loss of water in flooded batteries, or drying out of GEL/AGM batteries. In this stage, the charger is turned off and begins monitoring the battery voltage; if the battery voltage drops low (12.7 VDC or less), the charger automatically initiates another four hours in float charge.

"FIRE UP"....ON my Monaco I never saw the "Full Charge" on the monitor, but I've seen it a few times on my new coach. Usually, after it sits all day in good sunlight (300 watts solar power) and plugged in.

Once again I come to the best wisdom source to be found.
07 Holiday Rambler, 4 6v house batts, Magnum controller, Magnum inverter 2012.
Situation is, when we dry camp we run the gen for 2 hours when we stop, and another 1 hour in the morning. (might be more if we need the air)
Question is this. Should the house Batts not recharge from the engine alternator if we are driving from A to B for 300+ miles?
We have found looking at the control panel we are inverting going down the road.
Is there something we need to do different with the controller?
I find it hard to believe that after 300 mi we should arrive without fully charged house batts.
Thanks for all you do, you are all the best!

Start your engine, wait about 2 minutes and then measure both battery banks voltage. You'll likely find that the isolation solenoid is not working and failure of the contacts is common.
Scott, The ME2012 fourth stage is No Charge and is automatic. This occurs with fully charged batteries and minimum draw. The fifth stage is Equalize and is manual.
