Hi Y'all, The FOG here,
I have an issue with my Chev, C-5500 Kodiak motor-home that at the moment stays in storage for long periods of time and the chassis batteries slowly fade away.
I would like to put a trickle charger on them. When the house portion is plugged into 110, the house batteries get charged and the chassis batteries don't get charged. Soooo, here is the issue; How do I connect a single 12V charger to the two motor-home chassis batteries without causing any problems to the electronics? I have had to have AAA come out to a campsite to jump start this rig, [when I left an auxiliary refrig. on accidentally all night], and they used a lug under the hood and a ground, but another time another jump had to use 24 volts on those lugs. At this writing, I am not able to determine if the batteries are wired in parallel or series since the rig is 90 miles from me. Does anyone have any definitive direction or approaches I should take to get that trickle charger to charge both batteries?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
