Just returned from a rally, about 100 miles. Were unloading, and wife says something is "hissing" near the front. Open her hood, and the battery sounds like it's boiling. A check with the IR shows about 190* on the battery case.

We do not have any house batteries, only the engine starting - usually plug in to ac when camping. The isolator has 5 posts, from a PO when there WERE house batteries. There is a combiner across the correct terminals of the isolator. We have an APC installed.

The PD 9245 in the rear feeds the house 12volt fuse panel, AND ALSO the center terminal of the isolator in the front via a long #8 wire.

Obviously nothing is coming from the PD while going down the road, so I'm assuming all of this has something to do with the alternator system.

Ideas?

TIA, as always
