Roger,

Thanks. I've got them to 50% but am going to try a higher-amperage charge to see what happens. I may be looking at new engine batteries, but will try to get them to take the charge. Fortunately, they were not discharged completely.

I will look into the converter charger, although there is the possibility that this is the one I retrofitted last year. Many thanks!

Randall, you have that extra converter/charger mounted below, that is not plugged in. Just plug it into the 120 volt outlet where the male plug is hanging. That charger is hooked to only the engine batts, when we did all the repairs.

Also, unless you changed the invert/charger that someone had updated your coach with prior, the old one has an issue internally with the internal transfer switch.

Your boost switch was working fine, once we straightened it out, so you could flip it on for 24 hrs (max)

For others, his coach has 6 volt house batts, no 8 D's.

Chris,

Thanks—I totally forgot about that extra charger. I will keep that in my electrical notes for future reference.

I appreciate the help.
