Since I found my chassis batteries dead as a hammer a few weeks ago this obviously isn''t happening in my coach. My owner manual says "For example: While the motorhome is driven the alternator on the engine will charge the house batteries. Likewise, while the motorhome is plugged into shore power, or the generator is running, the engine batteries …
Avoiding sparks near the battery is the main reason for the common advice to make the last connection to ground away from the battery on the vehicle with the dead battery. It is best to make this connection directly to the engine or to some sturdy metal part bolted to the engine. The reason for this is because the starter is mounted on the ...
There are several devises on the market that will charge or trickle charge the chassis batteries. You want a configuration that will prevent the chassis batteries from being drained by house power loads. On motor homes they may have a dash switch that will tie the house batteries into the starter if the chassis batteries are low. This is ...

I have a brand new battery, so I am thinking somehow the Coach is draining the Chassis battery, but I can''t figure out how to stop it. I didn''t have the problem until just recently. I can use the battery booster to start the engine, but I am concerned that if it keeps draining the chassis battery, it will shorten the life of the battery. Any ideas?
Chassis being the most vital part of the electric vehicle which accounts for the safety and life. To meet the performance requirements of the automobile market which is dominated by engine based vehicles, EV''s design has to be light weight, durable and have long range. Chassis of the vehicle has considerable weight apart from batteries. A light weight and optimized design of …
On either, the chassis battery should last more than two days. But, on shore power, not all coaches recharge the chassis battery from the inverter/charger. So, that is two separate issues-- what is drawing on the chassis batteries AND what charge sources charge the chassis battery, You may need an ammeter to trace down the draw.
First some details. We have a 2019 Mercedes Sprinter under a Thor Quantum 24. Our chassis battery is standard Mercedes Sprinter. The house batteries (2) are AGM, I believe, and the house batteries are charged via solar array. I do not know if the generator charges the house batteries but I would assume it does. In my previous Class A motorhome I had a …
Replacing the two 12 volt batteries on a diesel pusher
Honda''s new battery weighs significantly less than the previous one, which means it could be up to 5kg lighter. Any excess weight will influence the car''s centre of gravity and Honda has placed a particular emphasis on the …
What kind of batteries do electric cars use? Most new electric cars on sale today use battery tech that''s fundamentally the same: hundreds of individual cells packed into modules of pockets to ...
For a CTC EV chassis, each battery cell is firmly mounted on frames and sealing sheets (cockpit floor and waterproof plate) as not only an electricity container but also a load-bearing part. Owing to the absence of pack structures, battery cells are capable to be placed anywhere in any shape or size, which causes the existing chassis with orthogonal …
While very negligible, LEDs to consume energy. A B.I.M. (battery isolation manager) not only disconnects batteries from each other to keep the chassis and house batteries isolated, but generally allow both batteries to be tied together when extra amperage is needed for engine or generator starting. An Amp-L-Start can''t do that. _____
I had a similar problem on my 2000 DSDP. What I found was, one of the chassis''s batteries was internally shorted. It would show a full charge after charging but in 24hrs it was less than 10 volts. So neither bank got charged, house or chassis. Replaced the chassis batteries and the charging system functions perfectly now, and both banks get ...
The chassis structural design of new energy cars is more adaptable and affects vehicle performance compared to fuel-powered vehicles. The integrated battery and high amount of …
Lonfu when I say chassis I am referring to the engine battery. I normally have two but I have removed a bad battery that would not accept a charge which leaves me with one engine battery. I will be buying two new batteries but im not in a hurry for two reasons. 1 we wont need to start the engine until Sept and 2 I want to do some testing to see ...
Auto manufacturers and suppliers have, however, developed a more modern architecture. Today, there are module-free batteries on the market, in which the cells are placed directly inside the...
Also, if there''s a backup camera connected to the chassis battery that could also be the issue. You may have to turn it off manually to make sure it isn''t draining the battery. Disconnecting the chassis battery is a good way to make sure nothing will drain it while you''re camping. If you disconnect it and it still dies there''s something ...
I replaced both coach batteries and the chassis / engine battery. 12v system seems to be fine but I now have a problem starting the engine. The dash lights up when I turn the ignition key but within a couple of seconds, all is dead.

You have a battery that is merely flat (discharged) but otherwise perfectly capable of doing its job. You are refilling its energy "tank", and the start energy actually comes 90% from this battery. You have a battery that is "at the cusp of end-of-life". It can still store enough energy needed for a start, just not for any length of time.
1. Lead acid deep cell batteries need lots of care. 2. Some Chassis batteries are not charged when plugged it. If your inverter/charger does not have a chassis charger included you will need to do this. My 2007 Ellipse did not charge my chassis batteries. When I parked at home I always switched off the chassis battery.
This type of battery has been around for decades because of its specific ability to provide a large amount of starting (or cranking) power. Starting or chassis batteries are not designed to provide long-duration power. They …
