Am I the only one confused ? Must we assume it is an inverter ? I am not sure what the battery disconnect has to do with it , leave it in the on position and maybe battery will charge !
It is a power inverter. I don't know how it works exactly but I know when I plug the RV into the house for power if I take my multi-meter and touch the battery leads with the disconnect turned off the battery is at 10.5-11 volts. If I then switch the battery disconnect on then do the same measurement with the multi-meter it's closer to 13 volts. I'm assuming this is occurring because when I flip that switch the power converter is then sending power over to my battery since that switch is opened up. Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly but that is what I'm assuming is occurring. So everything works correctly when I'm plugged into the house when I unplug the power inverter does not work. I've had my battery on the charger for three days now after two more days I'll unplug it from the charger and test again. I'm assuming my two batteries are dead which is why it won't work when I'm plugged into the house.
