General Discussion / Re: Help - rookie questtion on battery panel

« on: July 06, 2018, 12:41:29 am »

I understand I have a lot of learning to do.  I will buy a volt meter today.

I have turned the store/use switch a number of times.  It doesn't seem to do anything.

The entire house is dark.  No lights no power anywhere.  I pushed the gen start button but nothing happened. Need to get out the gen manual in the morning.  It's like the coach has a blown fuse.   Running truck didn't change anything.   The voltage panel that was working when I put it in storage is not lit up.  It shut down when it went into store mode. It  had those voltage numbers when working.

My guess is the bat is dead or that disconnect switch might be broken...

Thanks for your help and patience.

Thanks for the reply.   Batteries are a year old and it was fully charged when stored.  Made sure every thing was off. Ran the engine for a half an hour and still no power from batteries.  Have battery numbers but the screen doesn't show any.   Is there a fuse as part of the battery disconnect switch?  Maybe the switch is broken? Did I blow a fuse? All the circuit breakers are ON.

I talked to the original owner and he never used the switch cuz he stored it in the barn.  He said the solar panel should be charging if the battery is connected.  This seems to be my problem?

I don't have a volt meter and wouldn't know how to use it..

Phoenix factory is closed this week or I would call them.

Any other idea's out there?

thanks

I bought a used 2351 6 wks ago.  It was working fine when I put it in storage for past month til we could use it.  Put battery in store mode on the battery disconnect panel.  Pulled it out of storage and Pushed "use" on battery panel and I have no power.  Solar panel doesn't show any voltage. Currently running truck engine to recharge house batteries which must be dead.

Am I missing something?  HELP!
