Keeping Batteries Charged While Storing the Trailer
If shore power is available at your storage site, keeping the trailer plugged in will keep the batteries
charged by way of the Power Converter. The Power Converter monitors battery condition and adjusts
its output accordingly. You can leave the trailer this way for an extended period, but it’s a good practice
to check the water level in the batteries monthly. If for any reason the water level drops below the top
of the internal plates, a battery may be damaged and no longer perform adequately.
If there’s no shore power available, to keep the batteries from discharging, both battery cutoff switches
should be turned OFF. Batteries in good condition will generally hold a good charge for a month or
longer. If the batteries are partially depleted when you return, connect the trailer electrical cord to the
truck to slowly recharge.
Using an On-board Generator to Charge Batteries While in Storage
If you have an on-board generator, running it for 30-60 minutes monthly will keep your batteries topped
off. However, if the batteries have been allowed to discharge significantly, there may not be enough
charge left to start the generator. You may have to connect to the truck for 30-60 minutes to recharge
enough to start the generator.
Restarting the Residential Refrigerator Power System
When the battery cutoff switches are returned to the ON position, you must manually restart the
inverter that provides power to the refrigerator. This can be done either at the inverter, or inside the
coach using the inverter remote On/Off switch. Additionally, if the refrigerator was turned off at its
front panel, you’ll need to turn it back on there as well.
