Where does the power from the coach batteries come from?

Power from the batteries enters through the two copper bars in the center (see red arrows pointing up). The cables labled S and I are from the rocker switches inside the RV that activate the disconnect relays. When activated, the relays connect coach and chassis power to the RV.

Why are my coach batteries not charging on shore power?

The coach batteries are not being charged when I’m connected to shore power. I’ve verified this by measuring the voltage at the battery terminals when on shore power. There is no change in voltage when I connect to shore power.

Where do I Disconnect the coach battery in a RV?

The RV uses an Intellitec battery disconnect system. Inside the door are two switches to disconnect the chassis and coach batteries (see photo below). Also below photos of the Intellic disconnect relays inside the power distribution box that’s in the engine compartment.

Is the coach battery charged by the alternator?

Rich. The Inverter is a PowerSource PC50 producing up to 50A at 12VDC. The alternator is charging the chassis battery just fine, and I’ve verified the output of the alternator. But I don’t think the coach batteries are charged by the alternator… is that correct?

Why is the battery not working on my Fleetwood Bounder?

The converter was working, but the chassis battery wasn’t being charged. I opened the Battery Control Center (BCC) and found that a large solenoid is used to connect the two battery systems together to charge both sets or use the house batteries to assist in starting when the chassis battery is dead.

Is the chassis battery the same as the coach battery?

The chassis battery and the coach battery are 2 separate battery systems – except they both will get charged by a common method. All chassis battery systems are based on a single 12 volt battery – that will allow high amperage draw (especially if a diesel).

Can a deep cycle battery be mounted on a coach?

AGM – Absorption Glass Mat batteries are quickly taking over the “coach” side of RV batteries – with good reason! AGM Batteries are completely sealed, deep cycle, do not have any fumes and can be mounted in any position needed! Pretty Cool, huh?!

Is the Bounder Battery Control Center a replacement part?

The Bounder Forum reported that it is a directly replacement part per the BCC manufacturer. Note: Electrically, it’s a good replacement. Physically, it “almost is”.
