I guess I'm confused smkettner becauseI don't have the battery hooked up.
It's a direc connect to the house. .
Fridge and AC need 12 volt for their thermostats.
I fought that same battle me and the mobile repair guy trying to put blame all different things as to why they shut off.
I'd turn the air on, it started but come back later and it would be off.
Fridge would come on and later shut off.
Cause they all can START but they need DC to the thermostat to turn it back on after they reach the dialed in temp that shut them off.
In my case it was the converter frying the battery. It was putting out too much. When we opened it up one capacitor looked like it was shot with a 22.
And BTW the smell of sulfur we had been getting whiffs of for a few days was written off to a nearby well and the wind.....of course that was the coach battery frying!
Sorry for being long winded but if it helps just one person not go thru what I went thru for a week the last insult after the "3RD" repair guy came out and couldn't figure it out was:
When you check the output of your convertor:
LEAVE the tester on AFTER it reaches it's respected output.
2 repair guys put the tester on and pulled it off when it read in the correct range. I made the last guy leave it on and it kept climbing and climbing which was fry boiling my battery!
