Question on a Trik-L-Start

March 01, 2016, 07:56:36 pm

I have just installed a Trik-L-Start. When I was done, I had a yellow light on - showing it was charging. When I started the coach, the light began blinking green and yellow. I would have thought that the light would go to green when running. One note, the coach was still plugged into shore power when the coach was running.

Is it normal to see the green light blinking? Can someone explain what they see with there unit during operation please.

Thanks,
Bob

Here's the FAQ on LSL's (the manufacturer's) website which covers the lights and what they mean

I've never seen a green light (blinking or otherwise) on my Trik-l-Start.  Light has always been solid yellow but I've only ever checked it with the engine off.  I have 3 D31T start batteries.  The solid yellow was the status on my 10 year old batteries and it has not changed with my brand new set of D31Ts,  VM shows 13.4-6 at the terminals.
