If your batteries are low and you plug in with the charger on you could be putting a lot of amps into the batteries for a while. Make sure your alternator charging is up to snuff.  With a res refrigerator the load is higher than it used to be.  I swapped my LN 160 amp alternator out for a Delco Remy 240 amp brushless alternator and a zero voltage drop isolator.  Way better.

She had been at FOT for a month.  Batteries are in good shape, but I do not believe they kept her plugged in.  Oh well she is home now and I can keep an eye on her.  Going to Galveston for a few days, so will be able to check things out....Thanks again for all of your help.
