Actually, in my 2014 Vegas, the only way to change the chassis battery was to go thru the dash under the desk. However in my 2016 E450 they have lowered the battery tray slightly and I have seen...

The converter/charger in the Axis is not the best piece of equipment. I have had two (2014 Vegas and 2016 Axis) and neither worked correctly. They would not go into float mode so they overcharged the...

In the Axis , the chassis battery is located under the passenger desk. From the front grill it is on the left (passenger) side behind the two large hoses.

Once you plug it in and the Trombetta or BCC opens (within a minute or so) the chassis battery will read 14.1-13.1v depending on what stage the charger is in and the same as the house batteries - if...

Interesting. I cannot believe that Thor would design the charging system in the Axis and Hurricane and others to charge the chassis battery off of shore power and not the ACE. But in all the...

I have seen many reports on this forum and others about malfunctioning Trombettas and there are several other solenoids out there which can replace it - see camperguy99's post above for the one he...

That's basically what I was going to do in my Axis, except put a switch in there, and in your case with a large battery bank and 100 amp charger, I think that is an excellent idea. In my case with...

I agree with gmc, while the chassis battery not charging happens, it is not normal. Mine was one if those and it was a miswired BIRD. Others have had problems with their Trombetta sticking...

I don't think so Ed. If that were true, the voltage at the two battery banks would not be exactly the same as soon as the Trombetta opens. The BIRD senses the charging voltage, not the state of the...

Thank you gmc. Of course. I didn't think of it that way, but when you tie two batteries together to jump start one, the current flows between the two to try to equalize them. So the same thing should...

You have something wrong with your charging system. If you are plugged into shore power at all times, both battery banks should stay fully charged. The WFCO converter should charge both battery banks...

If you put a volt meter on the chassis battery when under shore power or generator, it should read the same charging voltage as the house batteries - at least mine does. That means to me that they...

Battery charging question

I have a question for all you 12v and battery gurus out there. I am upgrading my WFCO converter/charger to a Progressive Dynamics 4655. We dry camp in the National Parks and Forests a lot and the...
