    I have 2022 imagine 2600 RB.
    My question is when trailer is plugged into power and the battery disconnect is turned off, does the battery get charged automatically?

    Not unless there is a solar charger.

    I thought the Battery Disconnect Switch shut off power to almost everything. Well, I've been wrong before.

    Should I not disconnect battery when plugged in? I heard it’s best to disconnect.

    There is almost never a good reason to turn the disconnect off.

    No. Never disconnect. I guess “off” to me meant not used.

    Where did you hear this?

    Off to me means the disconnect is not being used

    Off and on to describe a battery disconnect is not very good imo

    It would appear "what we got here, is failure to commun'cate". In my mind, with the Battery Disconnect Switch turned to "OFF", i.e. the red handle turned and removed, the battery is disconnected. With the Battery Disconnect Switch turned to "ON", power is supplied everywhere. I agree it is pretty ambiguous.

    So we do agree that turning the Battery Disconnect Switch to "OFF", the converter will not charge the batteries?

    Let’s put it this way. If there is NOT a continuous line from the converter to the battery it will not receive a charge. Lol
    Maybe the op will understand
