Richard_Muisehouse battery problem
The low voltage alarm was on in the Barth this morning. My meter said the new house batteries were at only 4-5 volts. The Intellecharger was plugged in. I took the fuse out of the solar panel over my door and the voltage meter went up to 12 volts. My multimeter said the batteries were still down so I flipped my battery isolater switches and put a computerized charger on the house batteries. They are slowly charging and are at 67% right now. Anyone have any ideas???
Thanks.

I HAVE ONE! Maybe your solar panel was in reverse and your batteries were sending EMF back to the sun. IMHO

Richard_MuiseMaybe the sun switched polarity! Actually, a ground went bad and the intellecharger had a nervous breakdown. Cost me only $30.00 to get it fixed!

ccctimtationMy inverter/charger warns of leaving it on with other inputs (genset running with engines operating) as they will result in discharge.
