Battery?
Hi All,
Trying to understand the issue we are having and not doing a very good job of it.
Our 380FL-R Solitude has all of the electrical components working when connected to shore power. There is no issue. Immediately upon disconnecting from shore power, the battery begins to lose voltage. I only (think I) know this because if I try to work the hydraulic system it reads low voltage. So then we needed to reconnect to shore power to get the jacks pulled up.
Also the battery isn't charging when we are arriving at a campsite. Voltage is reading low, again with the hydraulics so we need to connect to shore power before I can put the landing gear down. I've checked fuses and circuits and all seems good. I have not checked the battery with a meter as you do describe in some posts that I just saw because I have no voltmeter or multimeter or whatever the tool is called.
This really just started a few days ago.
Now as I write this, it seems like a no brainer to identify it as a battery issue as it's bypassed when using shore power? My question I guess is why I see the voltage (isn't it the battery power?), increasing in the Lippert jack system when connected to shore power? Or is that the voltage going to the system directly from the shore power connection?......and again it leaves the battery to blame.
Forgive me if it's a stupid question, but that's it. Actually trying to get a hold of a mobile tech but not receiving an answer.
Thanks,
SueSusan (and Alan, Oliver, and Shiloh).
