I now have a negative blade disconnect on the chassis and on the negative coach batteries. After I hit the store button, I disconnect the coach. 5 years latter and on the originals.
So the emergency start worked as it should and now you'll never use it again?

Did it occur to you the bad diodes is what caused the battery to discharge and had nothing to do with the emergency start that you used successfully?
